Consumer & retail

A.T. Kearney works with consumer goods producers, distributors and retailers. We help our clients rise above the competition and compete more effectively in today's crowded marketplace. We define initiatives to improve top-line performance, while simultaneously driving down costs. Our robust portfolio of services includes counsel on strategy and operations, as well as marketing, merchandising, supply chain, organizational design and technology.

Through our work with consumer goods producers and retailers worldwide, we have developed a wealth of insight and talent to help clients solve their strategic, operational, organisational and technological challenges. We work with clients to address key business questions including such as "What steps must we take to reach company goals?", "How can we grow the top line?" and "How do I improve operational effectiveness and organisational productivity?"

A.T. Kearney Australia has a strong presence in the consumer goods and retail market. With our FMCG clients, we address a variety of business issues, including organic growth and sales force effectiveness, operational improvement and supply chain optimisation and inorganic growth and merger integration. With our retail clients, we work on specific operational issues and supply chain strategic issues, from low cost country sourcing to store effectiveness and footprint. We therefore have a deep understanding of the Australian retail and supplier dynamic, which we can leverage to ensure optimum results.

Kearney Achieving Excellence in Retail Operations 2009 (AERO) study will provide your company with insights into how your organization compares with leading companies, and will detail emerging best practices.
