Independent advisory
Capital-grade technology decisions for grocery operators.
We bring institutional rigor to the platform, sourcing, and program choices that determine whether a grocery operator's technology investments compound, or quietly erode margin.
What we do
Platform selection
Vendor-agnostic evaluation across POS, ERP, e-commerce, and merchandising. Selection criteria modeled to your unit economics, not to the integrator's incentives.
Sourcing & negotiation
Structured RFPs, contract teardown, and pricing benchmarks. We negotiate inside the deal, alongside your team, and document concessions worth defending in year three.
Program recovery
Stalled rollouts, broken integrations, and disputed scope. We diagnose the failure pattern, reset governance, and bring the program to a defensible end state.
How we work
Assess. Engage. Govern.
Our engagement model applies DAAEG™, our governed framework for treating technology like capital. Learn more.
We start with a structured diagnostic of the current technology estate, contracts, and the operating decisions they support. Short, scoped, and decision-oriented.
We run the market on your behalf: RFPs, vendor dialogue, demos, references, and commercial structuring. All documented against the criteria set in the assessment.
We stay through implementation as the independent voice in steering. Protecting scope, holding integrators to milestones, and translating issues into executive decisions.

Integration reset, from a technical layer to a business capability
Disconnected systems and point-to-point integrations had made integration a business constraint. We repositioned integration as an enterprise capability, retired redundant tooling, and defined a future-state model aligned to operating outcomes.
Integration surface reduced by 75 percent

Order accuracy lifted by cutting manual handoffs
The order process depended on manual steps across disconnected systems, introducing errors and rework that reached customers. We prioritized the handoffs that drove the most error and defined the changes that would hold.
Manual touchpoints cut by 80 percent
