    business objective

    To drive adoption of their RFID solutions, the client aimed to identify key decision-makers in retail and logistics, build tailored engagement strategies, and position their offerings as essential for improving supply chain visibility and operational efficiency.

    CONTEXT

    In the fast-paced retail and consumer goods supply chain, real-time inventory visibility is critical. For RFID solution providers, success depends on pinpointing decision-makers across logistics, IT, and inventory management, while overcoming adoption barriers like legacy systems and cost sensitivities.

     

    Our solution

    Strategic Account Mapping: Conducted a detailed analysis of key retailers’ organizational structures, focusing on identifying decision-makers in logistics, inventory management, and supply chain roles. This included mapping Tier-1 retailers such as major department stores and grocery chains.

    Value Proposition Customization: Developed tailored messaging frameworks to address key pain points:

    • Inventory accuracy improvement
    • Shrinkage reduction in high-risk categories
    • Enhanced omnichannel fulfillment through real-time inventory insights

    Market Segmentation and Sizing: Executed a global market sizing exercise, identifying a total addressable market of 1,200 high-value retailers with the potential for RFID adoption, segmented by geography, revenue size, and existing supply chain challenges.

    Campaign Execution Support: Supported multi-channel outreach campaigns targeting prioritized accounts, using data-driven strategies to drive engagement with decision-makers.
