UK RETAIL CONSULTANT

Our Retail Consultancy and Your Business

Open Plus provides six broad retail consultancy services, but there are three principal ways in which we offer them

Posted by Killian McAleese, 31st May 2011

We put a lot of thought and effort into our consultancy services at Open Plus, so it's worth taking a moment to think about things from our customers' point of view and explain just how we engage with the businesses we work with.

After all, as much as we're aware of what we can offer in terms of retail expertise and services, each customer has different needs and almost always a different way of working.

Your personnel, time, facilities and any number of other factors can affect how you can work optimally with an external consulting company. For these reasons, all the services we offer retailers are available in three ways, depending on how you want, and are able, work.

Outsourced Projects

-Do you need quick results with tightly contained impact?
-Is your IT team too busy already?
-Do you lack the specialist skills?
-Is the project a one-off not worth building an in-house capability for?
-Or do you just want us to take the problem off your hands?

There are many reasons why businesses ask Open Plus to take a complex project away and return it as a working deliverable. Our outsourced projects approach allows you to pass a difficult project on to our experienced team giving you confidence from the outset that you understand the impact on the rest of your operations.

Embedded Team

-Need to jump-start or consolidate your IT?
-Can't wait to recruit an IT team?
-IT team not part of your strategic plans?
-Want control without committing to long-term seats within the business?
-Don't want to build a large scale project plan before getting started?

Open Plus can work as part of your team, supplementing or even entirely constituting your IT department. Week by week, your business steers our team towards achieving the retail technology you need to assist in your growth.

Transition & Training

-Do you need an instant team with the right skills to hit the ground running?
-Do you want to have a strong internal team to help you build the business, but don't have time to wait?
-Do you need assistance to recruit, manage, train and develop an internal team?

Open Plus can provide a ready-made transitional team: as we help you plan the shape of your team and find the right people to grow that team, we'll assist you in the meantime in delivering your current ambitions while your internal team grows in strength.
