Columbus Consulting, along with one of our partner vendors, has developed a process automation application that quickly identifies low-performing SKUs across an entire brand portfolio. The output informs you of underperforming SKUs to eliminate in an effort to increase brand profitability. SKU rationalization provides a clear view to initiate immediate decisions and maximize returns with every execution.
Working with what you have is the best way to minimize expenses and improve efficiencies. Columbus Consulting can do an organizational audit and assess your business process to immediately identify voids and recommend improvements. We can also review your labor staffing and management models to best use the teams you have to optimize outputs that align with demands and needs. And, if you are holding off on hiring critical roles, we can leverage our network of experts to fill them with interim leadership.
Wish you had infinite business wisdom and the speed and efficiency to make accurate and impactful decisions across your organization? Artificial Intelligence provides that path forward. Before you can implement AI-enabled technology, however, you first need to make sure your brand is ready to leverage all it has to offer. Now is the perfect time to do an assessment of your tech stack and talent to identify key systems’ voids, application needs and team readiness. By doing an AI preparation assessment, you can scale your business exponentially when the market returns to its new norm.
The best investment you can make right now is in your data. It fuels all of your organizational knowledge, consumer information and business planning. With the speed of growth and change that retail has experienced over the last 10 years, most companies have not properly managed their data to keep pace with market and systems’ needs. You should be asking: Are my product attributes consistent? Is my data hierarchy aligned? Are my data sources and outputs being managed? Do we have a standard data governance model in place? Columbus Consulting can get you data ready in a matter of weeks.
