We are small by design, choosing to maintain our focus on improving our methodology and approach after each engagement, than to build a large organization where our focus would not be solely on our customers. We pride ourselves on making our timelines, providing solutions for our customers, and moving on the next customer, unlike our competitors who often are looking for long-term engagements for numerous junior and senior consultants. Vendor Neutral, Retailer Friendly Our business model is to work for the retailer independent of any alliances or partnerships with vendors to allow us to be as objective as possible during any vendor evaluation and selection process. We know the vendors, we know their offerings, strengths and weaknesses, but work for the retailer for the best decision, independent of any ‘referral fees’ which are common in retail consulting.
