Consulting services

The strategy, systems and visibility to perform better.

Our consulting services strengthen the four areas that most directly shape organisational performance: direction, operations and service excellence, growth and technology.

You may need a focused engagement in one area or an integrated programme across several. We start with the business objective, identify the constraints and build a practical scope around the improvements that matter most.

Where the margin was going

One trading year across all 22 stores, as a share of total stock loss.

Cages short between the depot and the store38% of loss

Never proven at either end, so never recovered from anyone.

Theft from the shelf31% of loss
Counted wrong at stocktake19% of loss

Two closed nights per store, and the count still disagreed with the system.

Damage and expiry written off informally12% of loss

Under a third of the loss was actually theft. The rest was measurement — and measurement problems are cheaper to fix than people problems.
