Services

Advisory built around one decision at a time.

Every engagement is scoped to a specific tool decision — not a generic retainer. Pick the service that matches where you are today.

Software selection & RFP management

End-to-end management of a tool selection — from requirements gathering through shortlisting, RFP issuance, and vendor scoring. Used for pricing, ERP, CRM, loyalty, and logistics decisions alike.

  • Requirements matrix aligned to your commercial goals
  • RFP document and vendor Q&A management
  • Weighted scorecard across 3–5 shortlisted vendors
Best for Retailers replacing a core system and want a defensible, documented decision process.

Pricing & revenue tool strategy

Evaluation of competitive pricing, repricing, and markdown optimisation platforms — tested against your actual margin rules, category structure, and competitor set.

  • Pricing rule audit against candidate platforms
  • Pilot design using your live product catalogue
  • Margin-impact estimate per shortlisted vendor
Best for Retailers with manual or spreadsheet-based pricing looking to automate without losing margin control.

ERP & operations advisory

Selection support for order management, finance, and warehouse systems — with particular attention to integration load and peak-season resilience.

  • Integration map across existing systems
  • Peak-load stress scenario built into pilot criteria
  • Implementation timeline and staffing review
Best for Retailers outgrowing a legacy ERP or facing recurring peak-season failures.

CRM & loyalty strategy

Selection and architecture guidance for CRM and loyalty platforms, with a focus on how customer data will flow between the two — the most common point of failure in Nordic retail stacks.

  • Customer data flow diagram, current and proposed
  • Loyalty mechanics fit-check against your customer base
  • Vendor shortlist with integration risk flagged per option
Best for Retailers running CRM and loyalty as disconnected systems today.

Vendor negotiation & contract review

Support during commercial negotiation once a preferred vendor is identified — pricing structure, SLA terms, data ownership, and exit clauses.

  • Contract redline against known problem clauses
  • SLA and usage-limit terms benchmarked against market norms
  • Negotiation position and fallback options
Best for Retailers who've chosen a vendor and want a second set of eyes before signing.

Post-selection implementation oversight

Continued involvement through onboarding and go-live, tracking the new platform against the requirements that won it the contract in the first place.

  • Go-live checklist tied back to original requirements
  • Fortnightly implementation check-ins
  • Vendor accountability log through stabilisation period
Best for Retailers who've been burned by implementations that drifted from what was promised.
