Success with our 8 P model
From Purpose to Profit
If you have always been looking for a holistic approach to successfully manage your business – we offer field-proven solutions.
Because we are convinced that companies must make a positive contribution to society with their products and their actions.
We are convinced from many years of experience that the control of the company result (PROFIT) can be achieved by means of six fields of action. For each of the following fields of action, we offer decades of experience, expertise and solutions proven in practice.
Thus, we are able to solve individual problems very specifically on the basis of benchmarks proven in practice.
Your benefit
We help you define a purpose that is specific to your company and relevant to your industry and that offers concrete social and corporate benefits.
Focus Topics: Product Design Sourcing Strategy | Logistics | Consumer Communication | Category Management
You must have heard about the EU plastics strategy in the news and perhaps wondered what it means for my company and my products?
We show you individual solutions with regard to current legal and customer requirements in terms of product design, purchasing strategy, logistical processes and category management, so that you can still sell your products/services tomorrow and retain the „license to operate“.

Focus topics: Target group analysis | Brand positioning | Touch points
Shopper marketing and the shopper journey are not new. What is new, however, are shopper types and the switch from physical stores to virtual shopping experiences.
But what are the consequences of the changed environment on my brand positioning, what are the relevant touch points from a new variety for my products/brand and what is my relevant target group?
We provide answers to all these questions in a structured process so that you can continue to be successful in the future

Focus topics: Supply chain, Customer and Sales operations | EDI Standards | KAM Organization International Customer Management
Your value chain is becoming increasingly complex, on the one hand due to internationalization and on the other hand due to the increased requirements with regard to, among other things, sourcing standards, digitalization and automation, speed and availability of goods.
It’s easy to lose sight of the big picture and implement cost-intensive solutions.
We help you to identify the issues that are relevant to you and to develop concrete solutions.

Focus topics: Channel Strategy | PSO Management | Category Management
What good is the best product, the best campaign and the best strategy if there is a lack of implementation? Nothing is more negative for one’s own image and for success with retailers than a lack of perfection in the implementation of the sales channel strategy, POS management and relevant areas of category management.
We challenge your existing strategy, point out its weak points and work out concrete solutions/improvements so that you may one day become supplyer of the year.

Focus topics: (N)GO Initiatives and the Impact Assessment | Own Positions and Action Plan | Sustainability/Sustainability
If you were asked who has the greatest influence on their products and processes, I’m sure you would say: my (retail) customers and my consumers / shoppers.
At the same time, many companies are not aware of the influence external stakeholders (GOs, NGOs, associations) have on their own Go-To-Market strategy.
We help you to identify the topics that are relevant for you, to carry out an impact assessment, to take a position and to derive a strategy.
For example, with our help, the EU Commission’s plastic strategy can turn from a risk into an opportunity by helping you save money on disposal fees, for example.

Focus topics: Employer Branding | Talent Management | Defining and Building Capabilities
You have probably asked yourself the question, how do I get my organization / team to meet today’s high demands in sales and marketing?
We help you to define an individual training program that fully meets your individual wishes and needs. In the implementation we fall back on experienced partner companies if necessary.
