Typical Client Relationships

Retailers' capabilities evolve in a fairly predictable way as markets develop and mature. In developing markets, retailers and supplier partners focus on supply chain, distribution, merchandising, and promotional basics. In mature markets (like the US, the UK and Canada) the focus shifts to managing complex format portfolios, building stronger brands and marketing capabilities and applying science to critical business decisions like pricing.

In the last 3-5 years, an elite group of retailers has begun investing in a new suite of "Level 5" capabilities which RNG believes will enable sustainable competitive advantage.

CPG clients that develop Customer-Centric Business Plans, Service and technology providers, marketing agencies, and trade associations subscribe to RNG to stay ahead of the major drivers of change in the retail industry and retailers’ strategic investments in tools & capabilities.
