Do you have a hard time keeping up with changing customer expectations and innovations that hit retail stores?

Traditional e-commerce players like Amazon and Alibaba have shown a strong interest in brick and mortar retail and have forced traditional retailers to rethink their business and develop strategies to cope with a new reality in which mass personalisation is required. Many new technologies have been introduced to enable data analysis, allowing us to understand what is actually going on before, during and after a customer’s shopping trip.

On one hand we see cloudification of store systems, while on the other hand an increasing number of sensor networks are added to the physical store to keep track of changes that take place inside the store. With a wide variety of technologies being offered and applied, not all of them make sense from a business perspective.

In order to select the right solutions for your business, you might need help.

Advisory services

In case you seek a second or third opinion and need a trusted advisor or sparring partner. Technologies are emerging and developing fast. You may have a competitive edge or you are trying to catch up with your competition. In both cases it is important to understand the value of a solution and how to deal with it in the near future. A solid understanding of emerging technologies and their applicability for your ideas is helpful, if not required to understand the impact on your business.

Interim consultancy

Sometimes the best way to progress is to add capacity or specific skills to your team. A skilled resource may temporarily not be available within your organisation, or you are currently not in a position to employ a specialist for a specific task. In those cases you might be better off hiring a consultant for an interim period. Depending on the situation, the appropriate knowledge, experience and skills will be applied, guaranteeing a lot of flexibility to address the actual needs of your team and organisation.

Concept realisation

Innovation is crucial to evolve and maintain or strengthen your market share. The various departments within your company need to work together and must align with external parties to achieve set goals. Ideas and concepts that originate from a business perspective must be validated and translated into solutions. These solutions are very likely to require more technology than you currently have in place and various options may be considered. Developing the concept and realising it in collaboration with external parties requires communication, coordination and common sense. We can help you find the right partners and aligning them to meet your needs.
