Retail & Consumer Margin, not slideware.

We work with multi-site retailers, food-and-drink operators and consumer brands on the unglamorous work that actually moves margin: legacy ERP modernisation, omnichannel replatforming, operating model redesign and post-acquisition integration. The focus is delivery confidence and measurable cost-out, not slideware.

Why Intology in Retail & Consumer

Retail transformation is judged on what happens at the till, in the warehouse and on the website during peak - not in a steerco deck. Intology embeds senior practitioners inside your team so the outcome is delivered, not just designed.

Regulators, standards and frameworks we work to

  • PCI-DSS for card and payments
  • UK GDPR and ICO for customer data
  • FCA consumer duty for retail credit and BNPL
  • Modern Slavery and supplier due diligence

Frequently asked questions

What retail and consumer brands buyers most often ask before a first conversation.

How do you handle peak trading on a retail transformation?+
We design every retail engagement around a no-change window through peak. Cutovers are scheduled outside the trading peak, dress rehearsals happen against real peak-volume data, and we maintain a roll-back position as a board commitment - not an aspiration.
Are you independent of ERP and OMS vendors?+
Yes. Intology takes no referral fees, no resale margins and holds no platform alignments. Every recommendation - including selection, replan and recovery - is yours to act on.
Can you support a retail carve-out from a PE portfolio?+
Yes. Carve-out and post-merger integration are core services for our retail and consumer practice, run with the embedded model so your team owns Day 100 not just Day 1.
