For shops

Find the money hiding on your shelves.

We crunch your numbers, compare your store (or stores) with shops like yours, and show you where the extra profit is hiding: margin, stock, staffing and the shop floor.

Sales look fine. So why doesn't the bank balance?

Cash tied up in stock

Slow lines sit in the back room while best sellers run out. Stock turn and sell-through show where the money is stuck.

Margin leaking through markdowns

Discounting to clear the wrong buys quietly eats your margin. We show you how much, and where it starts.

Busy store, small baskets

Plenty of people through the door, but conversion, average sale and units per sale tell a different story.

Reason #1
Fresh eyes see what you've stopped noticing.

You walk past the same shelves every day. We spot the slow lines, empty hooks and floor habits that cost you sales.

What we look at

The numbers that run a shop.

We compare your numbers with shops like yours and put a dollar figure on each gap. Then we explain why it's off and what we'd change: range, buying, stock, displays, rostering or team.

Reason #2
Margins feel low?

Markdowns, shrinkage and slow lines quietly eat into what you keep.
