Standardizing hierarchies and product data

Enabling effective retail operations starts with customer requirements and ends with customer fulfillment. A key to achieving this end is a strong merchandising program. Capgemini’s approach is designed to address issues such as effective category management and strategies, proliferation of SKUs, category and SKU profitability, and space utilization.

Experience with Leading Retail Merchandising Solutions

Capgemini is closely aligned with leading retail merchandising software vendors, including JDA and SAP. Specialists in Retail Merchandising assist clients with project management, change management, business process design and software integration.

Capgemini has helped companies improve the effectiveness of their retail pricing, a key merchandising focus area. For example, a national chain drugstore in the midst of rapid expansion was facing mounting competitive pressure from several fronts, as well as shrinking front-end sales growth and market erosion. The chain worked with Capgemini to perform a  diagnostic of its pricing organization, processes and systems, and to assess the price optimization tool landscape. We then designed and implemented a new pricing system and organization with the retailer, including a pricing decision-support data mart and profit and sales modeling tools.
