Plymouth Advisory Group  - Practice Areas - Retail

The retail world - with its razor-thin margins and relentless big bets on fashions, trends and timing - has never been a haven for the faint of heart. And global economic uncertainty has put more variables in flux than ever before: traditional segments are breaking down as consumers redefine value and cross-shop from discount to luxury; channel strategy is more complex, as online sales steadily increase and buyers expect higher levels of service. And, amid worldwide consolidation and the expanding dominance of giant chains, retailers are scoring only one-in-three success rates in acquisitions. In other words, growth is tougher than ever.
 
 We work closely with each client to address issues ranging from general business practices to store design/layout, real estate structure (lease/own analysis), consumer affinity, logistics/supply chain issues, inventory tracking, POS/checkout management optimization, merchant accounts/collections issues, tax matters and both permanent and seasonal staffing decisions. We utilize the most modern technologies, ranging from mobile applications to RFID and on-demand inventory controls and have the benefit of leveraging our experiences in numerous industries to provide for bleeding edge implementation of best practices in the retail environment.
