C-CORE’s principals have worked in retail our entire professional careers, in Store Operations, Merchandising and IT.  
We get retail - we understand the challenges, the ‘lean’ staffing and the volume of work. We have focused our efforts on building a set of proven, practical, reliable and easy to use tools enabling ‘lean consulting’ to help you meet those challenges. We respect and provide for the efficient use of your time, the vendor’s time and our time. We understand the ‘need for speed’ must be balanced with the ‘need for details’, and we deliver both!
Picture
Our methodology addresses four challenges you face as a retailer:
  • Lack of resources
  • Too many projects
  • Loss of expertise over time
  • Corporate governance and fiduciary responsibility.
Our toolkit methodology acts to supplement your workforce by providing the most detailed, efficient and results-driven process available to retailers facing the pressures described above.  


We suggest and deliver aggressive timelines and help you make your deadlines! 

Our toolkits have thousands of requirements embedded in them gathered from over 100 retail technology evaluations,  to allow you to focus on prioritizing rather than defining your requirements.  Best practices are embedded in the toolkit we deliver to you.  In two weeks or less, our process enables us to define your scope, objectives and priorities, and prioritize your detailed functional and technical requirements while never losing sight of the key differentiators that ultimately define the success criteria for your project.  These requirements, along with the critical Key Design Points and your goals and objectives, form the basis for our recommendation on the best approach for your technology evaluation and your vendor selection.

Our tools are Excel based and consistently formatted across Toolkits and are easily adaptable to a relatively 'young' or very mature organization in terms of project management skills.  Our industry-leading RAPID Project Toolkit methodology provides the tools and processes and we supply the expertise for you to 
Get It Right the First Time, On Time.
