Retail
We help one of the industries most challenged by disruptive forces reinvent itself to thrive in the digital age.
The Retail industry is being turned upside down by the convergence of digital and physical space, with implications across the whole value chain, from logistics to distribution and payments.
This isn’t only changing what decisions retail companies make, but also who makes them: Chief Digital Officers have a wide remit to use small and big data across the whole organization; Chief Innovation Officers are tasked with inventing a new business while keeping the old one running; Chief Growth Officers are expected to design flatter internal operating systems to accelerate time-to-market and better compete with start-ups; Chief Sustainability Officers must find a way to ensure that a focus on quarterly revenues doesn’t compromise everyone’s future.
It’s happening everywhere, but faster and more intensely in Retail.
To support this transformation, we draw from the best of Bip’s talent to design cross-disciplinary teams with expertise in data, design, marketing and technology. This enables us to create more effective omni-channel strategies, develop shopper-friendly Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Assistants, improve E-Commerce performance and optimize geo-marketing activities based on rigorous sales forecasting.
