Retail Productivity Improvement Services
SWL-EN3RGISE
Review • Reveal • Realise
Within the SWL-EN3RGISE family of productivity improvement services, SWL’s offerings are split into three distinct areas to help customers:
- Review the current productivity situation including how all time is spent
- Reveal the opportunities that exist in their businesses to drive greater profitability and competitive edge, and
- Land and Realise these benefits
(please click on the links above for a description of the services by each area)
Our enviable suite of services is supported through knowledge leadership due to:
- Over 20 man years of experience, on average, per consultant
- Previously living lives in senior retail operations and productivity roles
- Drawing on a broad range of skills, experience and methodologies to help provide a sophisticated and benefit-enhancing level of productivity analysis
- Exclusively-owned productivity data that enables effective retail productivity benchmarking, by sector
- The ability to financially forecast the benefits of all opportunities for improvement that have been unearthed, so customers can understand the returns on investment, by each initiative (customers typically achieve payback in 3 to 5 months)
- A ‘balanced focus’ on productivity benefits, breaking them down into short, mid and long term opportunities so cash can quickly be generated before productivity projects and programmes have even been completed
- Vast experience in successfully developing and implementing retail Workforce Management Systems (WFM), meaning we know how to help customers fully exploit the labour standards built following our productivity reviews
- Working with retailers across all sectors and sizes (our people led the teams which delivered measurable benefits for customers including Tesco, WHSmith, Barclays, Selfridges, Wickes, BP, Matalan, various Co-ops, First Direct, Shell, Sainsbury’s, DSGi and T-Mobile)
Quite simply, our customers would say we’re the best at what we do, which is providing deep-dive productivity and workforce management expertise. |
"At Matalan we needed a very quick understanding of how staff time was utilised in-store, particularly around delivery processing and replenishment activities. In less than a few weeks the SWL team were able to confirm and validate a true picture of current labour utilisation, plus the actual workload that was required for store delivery and replenishment processes. Finally they made recommendations for tactical and strategic process and efficiency improvements with projected financial benefits so we could quickly understand to what extent each initiative would positively impact the business"
Amin Kassam, Retail Director, Matalan Retail
