Practical, powerful solutions from true retail experts

A leading retail advisory firm focused on assisting retailers to more profitably compete in the increasingly complex and competitive retail environment. Our team works with retailers to redesign their organization, internal processes and tools, enabling them to most profitably succeed in this time of retail transformation. 

The retail landscape has never been more complex. The proliferation of global, online and off-price competitors is creating challenges for long-standing retail business models. Consumers, exposed to countless options, are increasingly knowledgeable and have higher expectations than ever before.

Retailers are now faced with critical decisions on how to reprioritize capital and operating expenditures in order to build a stronger omni-channel platform and create customer experiences that will enable them not only to survive, but to thrive. 

OUR DIFFERENCE

100% Focus on Retail. Unlike other retail consulting firms, we don’t divide our attention among other industries. With our resources and attention completely committed to providing unsurpassed retail advisory expertise, JAKERIAN is the best choice for retailers looking to adapt to the industry’s unique challenges and opportunities.

 Experienced Retail Professionals. Led by two of retail’s most results-driven strategists and a senior team – all of whom previously held executive positions and or board seats in retail and consult exclusively to retail chains – our teams understanding of the industry, its key-value drivers, trends, and rapidly evolving omni-channel environment, is second to none. We refuse to adopt the traditional consulting model, one that sees clients largely serviced by junior consultants. Instead, we staff client projects with small, bespoke teams of highly experienced, passionate professionals who have the depth of hands-on retail experience that will solve each retail client’s unique business improvement objectives.

Results-Driven. We’ve established a reputation for delivering transformative, measurable results, based on clear, actionable recommendations tailored to each retailer’s unique business. Our clients find our entrepreneurial approach, penchant for “telling it like it is”, and capacity for working seamlessly and collaboratively within their unique culture, refreshing and unique. Our retail advisors work efficiently and proactively to create maximum value by addressing each retailer’s core and its complex operational and financial challenges, rather than inundate them with large PowerPoint decks that often fail to translate into change.

Speed to Benefits. We are intensely focused on delivering sustainable results as quickly as possible. Our experience working with numerous retailers and cultures gives us an unparalleled ability to effectively partner with each client’s team to successfully implement the required changes and deliver the desired financial and operational improvements. 

Adapting the Retail Economic Model. The retail economic model has changed more in the past ten years than it has over the prior fifty years. Our teams intimate understanding of its evolving and complex triggers, areas of potential value creation, and new emerging value drivers are key to helping retail clients sharpen all aspects of their operations. We help clients evaluate and fine-tune their Economic Operating Model for improved profitability and working capital, while building for long-term success.
