Retail solutions
Concept development
Our specialists continuously monitor market developments and trends to develop concepts that meet the changing needs of consumers and retailers alike. We offer a wide, distinctive range of 15,000+ unique products, supplemented by current in/out ranges that respond to seasons and trends.
Non-food concepts
Our category teams and buyers constantly keep their fingers on the pulse of consumers: what do consumers need at the moment and how do we translate this into existing or new concepts? Thanks to our international spread in both retail and procurement, we always spot the latest trends and innovations immediately.
Category management
Our data-driven category managers combine knowledge of non-food and shopper behaviour with keen market analysis to deliver formula-specific customisation and drive structural sales growth.
Maximum efficiency
A sharp plan with strong data underpinning is essential for success in the non-food category. Our category experts develop this based on data and trend analysis and steer it efficiently based on clear KPIs.
Formula-specific customisation
With so much consumer choice, a sharp shop format is essential. We develop a tailor-made category plan for each retailer that matches the formula and shopper needs, making non-food a structural asset.
Tailor-made distribution
Every retailer has a unique logistics process, especially in the complex non-food category. Our flexible framework allows us to fully customise distribution to your needs, whether it is delivery to your DC or service to the shop floor. In this way, we unburden every part of the process.
Shelf availability
Good inventory management prevents unnecessary costs. With our flexible framework, we unburden you completely, from delivery to your DC to service on the shop floor, with maximum focus on shelf availability.
Merchandising
Every day, our service merchandisers are on the road to present our everyday essentials in the best possible way. Since the introduction of this merchandising service in the 1960s, we have continuously developed it to add real value to your retail formula.
Store-specific optimisations
Every shop has unique needs. Our service merchandisers provide periodic reports with KPIs and benchmarks for sharp, relevant advice, create strong non-food displays, identify stock issues and ensure optimal shelf presentations.
