It means doing things the smart way by setting uniform standards across your retail estate for how consumables are specified, ordered, delivered and used. As a result, you can reduce waste, cut cost, and improve operational performance.
Because the hidden leaks in operational consumables spend often come from inconsistent practices. By raising everything to Best Practice you can simplify, standardise and unlock efficiencies which supports everything from cost control to sustainability.
We can evaluate your current consumables strategy, and provide a standardised framework aligned with our More with Less Methodology. Through MyAcopia, you're able to enforce standards, track product usage and drive continuous improvement.
Benefits include lower admin overhead, reduced waste, better spend visibility, improved sustainability credentials and operational consistency across sites and stores.
It depends on the size and complexity of your business. Some quick wins such as standardising product categories or setting store budgets can be realised very quickly. Embedding full best practice with process change and user adoption may take a few months to achieve.
