Simpleworld’s formidable research and analytic expertise comes from complex problem solving in the retail and manufacturing sectors

Buyer value survey: Quantitative assessment of how shifting buyer preferences impact profitability. The study showed the dangers of maintaining high prices based on perceived customer value that was out of sync with market reality.

Profitability analysis: In depth comparison of two competing industrial technologies with regard to cost structure, market share, regulation and pricing policy. The study revealed how an industry standard ‘open’ technology can rapidly and irreversibly erode the cost and market advantage of the market leader’s proprietary technology.

Competitor survey: Poll of 980 store managers distilled into a map showing the direct relationship between competitive intensity and profitability decline.

Performance indicators: Concise management information for a retail chain extracted from 50,000 store reports, that led to nationwide restructuring. Innovative use of ‘TV monitor’ charts revealed exactly which parts of the store portfolio were underperforming and why.

Merger & acquisition analysis: Strategic and financial analysis of mergers & acquisitions targets in the fast growing generic pharmaceuticals market.

Front office relocation: Financial model for assessing viability and options for a multi-million pound front office relocation and build programme.
