Palladium's team of retail professionals offers you access to world-class practices and technology expertise.
Competition among retailers has never been tougher. Even the most vibrant retail stores operate on razor thin operating margins. Inaccurate assessment of changing consumer buying patterns can have an immediate and devastating impact on profits - and ultimately, viability. Retailers must strategically plan how to effectively outperform current and new competitors across their channels and improve supply chain relationships.
Our Retail Team is made up of deep industry subject matter experts- both technical and functional- that have 'been there and done that.' The team is committed to excellence and leverages world-class practices and technology expertise to deliver tangible, breakthrough results. Serving more than 75 of the world's most prominent retailers, including 21 of the National Retail Federation's top 50, Palladium's Retail professionals can help you manage tomorrow's performance today.
Plus, our Palladium PaceTM solution provides planners with a powerful yet easy-to-use business modeling and planning tool. Unlike traditional planning applications that assume distributed planning where one person plans their department or a few departments, Pace supports the individual who must plan hundreds, or even thousands of cost and/or profit centers. These centers may represent product lines, stores, sales channels, brands, field sales representatives, or any number of other examples. For more information on Pace, go to pace.thepalladiumgroup.com.
Palladium's influence within the retail sector extends to every segment, including department stores, mass merchants, specialty retailers, grocery stores, drugstores, home improvement stores, and quick- and full- service restaurants.
Success Story: Dunkin’ Brands
After a consortium of private-equity and venture capital firms purchased the franchiser with the intent of building its global brands through aggressive expansion, executives immediately realized it needed to upgrade their infrastructure and processes. Dunkin’ Brands partnered with Palladium and:
- Moved from three weeks to complete forecasting in less than two
- Improved its ability in analysis and decision making to make the company’s franchises and brands more profitable
- Receives a P&L by each operating team and consolidated roll-up at the click of a button
We turned to Palladium for help in the implementation because they ‘had the history and experience...they helped us get our arms around how (systems and processes) work.
