The Back of House Review is a practical, tailored assessment carried out by an Acopia Retail Expert at a single or multiple stores. We take a close look at how your current space is working (and where it’s not) so that we can recommend smarter systems, products, and processes to improve how goods are handled, stored, and moved behind the scenes.
A Back Room Review is an on-site analysis of how consumables and operational stock are stored, managed and utilised behind the scenes. It identifies inefficiencies, excess stock, process gaps and lost opportunities, helping you make your back room work smarter for your store teams.
The back room often hides the true picture of hidden costs and waste such as excess stock taking up space such as too much of one item - not enough of another. A review brings clarity, reduces waste and unlocks both time and cost savings.
We assess stock levels, storage layouts, replenishment practices, order patterns, product mix, usage accuracy and any discrepancies between expected and actual stock. We also look at how multiple deliveries impact your teams and explore whether products meet your operational needs and sustainability expectations.
Typical benefits include lower stock holding costs, reduced waste from obsolete or excess stock, better stock accuracy, improved order efficiency, fewer stock-outs and a more consistent back-room process across your sites.
It’s designed to be efficient and minimally disruptive. The review can often be completed in a few hours and we work with your team to gather insights without pulling them away from core duties. After the review, you will receive practical recommendations and a roadmap for improvement.
