Columbus Consulting fixes the hardest problems in retail merchandising, planning and allocation, supply chain, unified commerce, finance and information technology (IT).

Columbus Consulting was founded for retailers by retailers….we know retail, because we live retail. Our team held senior level positions in the industry and are the same folks who assess, recommend and implement solutions that drive results for every client we work with.
“Our business was built to serve the retail industry. Our differentiator is that almost all of us spent time in retail companies, mostly in significant roles, C-level, VP, Directors and other leadership positions. We have deep experience, not only in retail practices, but in the pressures our clients face in their day-to-day jobs. We had budgets that needed to be maintained, timelines around the retail calendar, pressures from market trends and latest fashions that require flexibility. We get it, we’ve been there. That’s our special sauce, that’s where we make a difference.”


Columbus Consulting can hit the ground running. We drive faster results by bringing top talent who are experts in their functional areas. Our proven frameworks, toolkits and methodologies accelerate value.
We remain curious and know the questions to ask, the challenges you face and have the ability to pivot and be agile when needed. We know retail is fast-paced and dynamic and that roadmaps are not universal nor always linear. We’ll start wherever you are on your journey and build trust with every milestone achieved.
We’re in it for the long-term, priding ourselves on building meaningful and long-lasting relationships. Our proven results earn repeat business. Many of our accounts were prior clients and former colleagues who know what we bring to the table. We know how to navigate unique retail cultures from big box to luxury brands.
