Retail Consultation
Transforming Your Supermarket Vision into a Profitable Reality
At Namaste Business Advisory, we offer comprehensive, end-to-end consulting services tailored for supermarkets and modern retail formats. Our approach combines deep industry expertise, data-driven strategies, and hands-on implementation to ensure your retail venture is not just launched — but optimized for long-term success.
Retail Layout Design
One of the most crucial stages in supermarket setup is Retail Layout Design. A well structured layout enhances product visibility, ensures smooth customer movement, and optimizes space utilization. We meticulously plan each section of the store — customer entry and exit points, billing counters, display areas, storage zones, inward goods areas, and packing spaces. You will receive two detailed layout plans: one for furniture placement and another for electrical work, each supported by a comprehensive list of required materials. This helps you avoid unnecessary costs and ensures operational efficiency.
Furniture and Fixtures
The selection of Furniture and Fixtures plays a strategic role in your store’s performance. Furniture must be tailored to suit different product categories and layouts. Our team guides you in choosing the right vendors based on quality, pricing, timelines, and service support. We also align display types with merchandising strategy to boost product turnover and avoid common issues like overstocking or inefficient shelf usage. Electrical fittings and lighting are installed in harmony with the layout to enhance product visibility and in-store ambiance.
Product Procurement
Product Procurement is where strategy meets profitability. We calculate optimal inventory levels, buffer stock needs, and supplier lead times for each product category. With access to over 100 trusted FMCG brands and distributors, we help you secure the best sourcing options. By optimizing procurement, we enable you to design effective in-store offers and pricing strategies that draw customers in and keep them coming back.
Data Driven Merchandising
Our Merchandising Strategy is powered by data and customer psychology. Every product placement — from shelf height to promotional displays — is designed to trigger purchasing behaviour and increase basket size. We develop engaging visual merchandising elements like shelf talkers, teaser promotions, and product groupings to enhance customer interaction and encourage impulse buys.
Software, Hardware, & Data Management
Technology Integration is a key pillar of our consultation. We provide a complete list of hardware with technical specifications — including billing systems, barcode scanners, servers, and printers — ensuring long-term reliability. Alongside this, we recommend and implement retail software suited to your scale and business model. This system powers all core functions such as billing, stock management, employee tracking, and analytics. We ensure both hardware and software are in place and operational before your store launch.
Sop’s & KRA’s
To maintain consistency and professionalism, we also define Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Key Responsibility Areas (KRAs) for all staff roles. From departmental structure to shift schedules, inventory checks, and customer service protocols — we provide ready-to-use operational documents that ensure your team performs efficiently from day one.
Business Policies & Advertisements
Lastly, we assist in formulating clear Business Policies and a compelling Marketing Strategy. Well-defined policies on returns, staff conduct, and vendor relations reduce conflicts and ensure smooth day-to-day functioning. In parallel, we design an advertising plan tailored to your local market — including print ads, social media campaigns, launch events, and in-store promotions — to create brand awareness, drive footfall, and build customer loyalty.
