Software is a backend business. Stronger the back end better the business. Software selection is very critical for any supermarket.

Your retail staffis frontline troops to win and keep customers. So it makes sense to pay close attention to the way they interact with customers. It can take years for young employees to acquire top-notch customer service through ‘on the job’ learning alone.

Staff management and SOPs for staff helps your store achieve maximum efficiency. SOPs of store, SOPs of the offers and schemes, refilling etc. are very important for the smooth functioning of the store.

We prepare a department wise staff list for you with the average salary and complete SOPs. We share the complete SOPs of the store and for the employees with you; so the owner knows the functionality of the store correctly.

Display and merchandising depends on many factors like business policy (HLPP & EDLPP), Customer psychology, pricings, MIS reports etc. Shelf talker, category indicator, Pilferage and waste management are also a part of merchandising.

Display & merchandising is the most effective way of selling. What people buy largely depends on how the products are displayed.

After the lots of study and analysis of customer behavioral patterns, we exactly know placement of the products where it will sell more. We will also share the insights about merchandising, importance of eye level, lower level racks etc. Section creations and separation of products also is of great importance. Importance of shelf talker and category indicator is also a part of merchandising.

Pilferage is a very common issue for every supermarket. Display system has a power to lower the pilferage and wastage loss.

Purchasing is the most critical part for any supermarket or retail chain. Purchase has to be carefully executed with the following considerations to factors like Category wise area allotment, category mix, product mix, margin mix, premium and imported products, extra categories, product selection, variety maintenance, Grocery as per the area and locality, organic and premium, Budget and lot more. These all factors are taken into consideration in the making of the product list for your store.

Purchasing is the most hectic work for any supermarket. We make it very easy for you. There are 150+ companies, 20000+ products then there are imported and premium products and then comes the extra categories and similar amount of products for those. Generally this is the area where people make lots of mistakes. Mistakes generally happens in selecting the brands, selecting the products from those companies and then in the quantities of these products. We make this customized list for you. We study your area and locality and we define, suggest and quantify the products for you.

Our list will give you all answer of the following questions:
1. What to buy?

2. How much to buy?
3. What to avoid?
4. How much space is allotted for which category?
5. How to do the private labeling?
6. How to do the stock conversion?
7. How to manage repackaging of grocery?

Good category and product mix is very important for any supermarket. We create this mix for you along with the extra category products, premium products and imported products. We will also help you in vendor recognition.

Margin management, offers and schemes, Repackaging and private labeling; these are very things to be worked out in any supermarket.

Setting up a margin structure is a tricky job to do. There can be upto 4000 FMCG products which sells high in volume but low in margin; 400 grocery products which contribute to the 50% of sale and have different margins over different products and then there are extra categories like plastic, household steel, clothing and other extra categories which are low in sell volume but high in margin. So it becomes very important to prepare a margin structure and create a good margin mix. We create these margin structures for you to manage the store profitably and competitively.

General trade and modern trade concept contributes in the margin structure as well. Seasonal and festival offers have to be worked out separately.
