Implementation & Project Management Support
Outsourced Implementation & Project Management: A retail assessment report will develop an extensive list of recommendations requiring agreement, prioritization and execution of special projects with “bite size” tactics for a successful implementation. As a result, Merchandise Food can support required project work as an experienced outsourced partner. Our teams can advance or oversee project components remotely and/or onsite as needed. Every project is different, however, here are sample project examples below:

Other clients desiring to perform tasks themselves in a do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.) approach can engage us in a less intensive advisory capacity to bolster internal teams. By Coaching (See Below) your employees through a merchandising reset or retail "evolution" process you can gain expert guidance while simultaneously building and broadening retail & merchandising skill sets within your organization. In our experience, two to six (2-6) months to plan, prepare and implement a successful small market, department reset or opening merchandising plan is necessary but varies for each unique circumstance.
