Step 1: Situation Analysis
It's all about setting a benchmark. Does the performance of your branch network meet your expectations? Does your branch network have desired coverage? Analyze where you stand in the current situation.
Typically we work with sophisticated statistical correlation analysis where we derive and measure positive and negative influences of location factors on revenue or profitability of the branch or shop. This is an excellent way of showing the symbiotic between external and internal data. Advanced methods such as decision trees and machine learning are deployed depending on the used datasets.
The result is a set of KPIs which have a significant positive/negative impact on the branch performance. Each KPI can have a different weight depending on its significance.
Within this analysis, we understand the whole network performance and dependencies and check each location on how it performs against the benchmark and its real potential.
Step 2: Save and Cut Costs
By meaningful optimization of your Business Location Network. Open, close, repurpose or relocate your locations based on the customer's needs, which you will learn from your internal data enriched by external factors.
Based on the defined benchmark and correlation analysis, we will be able to undercover the branches that are not performing to your liking. Often, the performance problem lies in the specifics of the location, for example, high competitive pressure (internal or external), poor accessibility of the place or not enough target customers in the area.
