Multi-Location Retail Group
Specialty Retail
The Challenge
A 6-location specialty retail group was growing revenue but losing margin. Inventory systems were manual, staff turnover was above 40%, and the founder was personally managing vendor relationships across all locations.
Our Approach
We conducted a full operational audit across all six locations, mapped every workflow, and identified three critical failure points: inconsistent purchasing, no centralized inventory visibility, and a compensation structure that rewarded tenure over performance. We redesigned the operating model from the ground up.
