Retail & Logistics
The world of Retail and FMCG is what drives most of the consumer economy. Yet, the premise of an interconnected, globalised and e-commerce-driven Retail world has been taking hits this decade. Supply chains across all sectors of retail have been drastically threatened by geopolitics, worldwide medical emergencies or plain logistical accidents which all point at one thing – the globalised structure of Retail supply chains is a glass house. It takes very little to break a lot of it down.
That is why Orrery has been helping our Retail customers understand the changes the world of Retail commerce is going through, on the local and the global level, from understanding their own operational efficiency through tangible data on one hand, to helping them crisis-proof their supply chains that span continents and are subject to more strict regulations now than ever before.

Past Successes
A team of Orrery consultants advised the board of a local business unit of a major Asian logistics company whose main business revolved around building supply chains between South East Asia and Europe and facilitating B2B transactions on where the supply chain reached.
The client’s executives faced a challenge of discerning the market potential of products they had under control. The Orrery team produced a two-part solution, one part centered around sizing the market for client’s transported goods and analysing their potential, and another part focused on improving the client’s B2B sales and pre-sales processes.
The client’s sales process was optimised for sales work in South East Asia and their account managers struggled to deliver in European markets. The B2B sales process was overhauled and successfully piloted within a 1-month deadline set by the client.
An Orrery consultant delivered the modernization and ongoing evolution of CEE region-level Loyalty Club reporting data based on country specific business and regulatory requirements. Orrery led continuous adaptation of reports to maintain compliance with rapidly changing heated tobacco legislation while upgrading technical foundations.
Orrery successfully brought 70% of the Loyalty Club reporting to modern standards using fully compliant processes and high-quality data. This significantly improved the reliability and timeliness of key business metrics used by leadership for performance tracking and strategic decisions.
The project reduced risk from regulatory non-compliance and gave executives greater confidence in the accuracy of the data underpinning their regional business strategies and customer program effectiveness.
A leading e-commerce retailer in the beauty and cosmetics sector attached an Orrery consultant to review data feeding reporting on customer activity and online sales. Rapid, start-up-like expansion had created fragmented data sources and quality issues that affected demand planning, performance reporting, and marketing effectiveness.
Orrery performed end-to-end analysis of key reporting datasets, implemented data quality controls, and designed sustainable governance processes tailored to a fast-moving retail environment.
The engagement delivered measurable improvements in data accuracy and consistency, enabling more reliable business intelligence and confident decision-making across commercial, supply chain, and marketing teams.
An Orrery consultant was attached to the Commercial Director of a company manufacturing retail goods aimed at school-going children, such as classroom stationaries, school bags, etc. The client approached Orrery with the goal of penetrating the North American market, starting with the USA.
The client already was in negotiations with a distributor that was willing to take on the client’s products, however, the deal stalled because the client was repeatedly unable to get authorisation for the sale of their products from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Orrery consultants helped the client by creating proper, regulatory compliant documentation for the products in question and communicated with the CPSC on behalf of the client to secure authorisation for their products, allowing the stalling deal with the distributor to go forward.
