Ability to Handle Complexity
We’ve worked with many complex Fortune 500 companies and Tier 1 and 2 companies, including:
• Multi-national, multi-business
• Multi-banner / brand
• Multiple-business models - Corporate, Franchise and Wholesale and any combination of all three
• Multiple Channels
• Acquisitions and services harmonization
• New business models and strategies
Board Room to Back Room
We began our careers working in Store Operations, and have had the good fortune to be entrusted with supporting senior management teams and their Boards with recommendations on business process, IT and strategy. We are comfortable operating at all levels of the organization, a critical success factor for selecting and implementing new technologies and strategies in retail.
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 we work for and always represent the retailer for the best decision, independent of any ‘referral fees’ which are common in retail consulting.
Consulting Principals
With C-CORE you work with the principles. 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.
