What We Do

TPG’s Retail Team delivers immediate in-stock availability improvement and the necessary capabilities to sustain the results. A partial list of our consulting services include:

• Best Practice Assessment: Using a proprietary Availability Best Practice Assessment tool, TPG will determine a client’s performance against Industry Best Practices in the areas of Retail Work processes, Shelf management, In-store compliance, Backroom management, Merchandising planning, Training and certification, and Measurement capability. The assessment will prioritize critical improvements to deliver improved results.
• Process Documentation and Improvement: Working with a small, representative sample of outlets, TPG will document and redesign work processes as identified in the Best Practice Assessment. This work will deliver required objectives in a simplified approach than can be replicated across the retailers total store base. As necessary, TPG will verify key in-process metrics are in place, and recommend appropriate new measures as required. Further, TPG will document and assess a client’s internal business planning processes in the areas of merchandising, seasonal execution and new items and develop appropriate improvement steps to deliver objectives.
• Road map and Capability Guide: Based on cost to serve modeling and category segmentation, TPG identifies critical manufacturers and third party suppliers which will impact design choices.
