In a competitive retail sector, ensuring your store is putting its best foot forward at all times of the day is essential in order to retain a loyal custom base. SMA's retail experts, have over 30 years experience working at Senior Management level with national & international Blue-chip Retail companies.
Our Retail Programmes are designed BY RETAILERS, FOR RETAILERS, tailored to your specific business requirements. A fresh set of eyes is vital in any business – and arguably nowhere more so than in the world of FMCG retail. Shoppers entering your store are continually making split-second judgements about the offering and customer service they receive. Standards therefore need to be kept up to scratch round-the-clock in order to ensure repeat custom.
Step in Solution Management Associates (SMA) Retail Specialists! We audit over 6,000 Irish retail sites every year across FMCG, Food Services & Specialist Retail Sectors, keeping us close to latest retail challenges and market trends. The company’s assessors are trained to give stores a full break-down of their performance right across the business, alongside the solutions they need to implement in order to improve.
