Overview

Rethinking Value Across Retail, Wholesale & Distribution.

Retailers, wholesalers and distributors operate on thin margins, and the past few years have tested every one of them. Store traffic has shifted online and back again, supply chains have been stretched to breaking point, and customers now expect the same price, choice and speed in every channel.

Winning businesses treat inventory, property and logistics as capital decisions, not just operating ones. They know which stores and depots pay their way, which categories deserve more space, and how much stock they can carry without tying up cash.

Northwise helps grocery chains, specialty retailers, wholesale distributors and e-commerce operators make those calls with confidence. Our advisers bring together financial analysis, real estate insight and supply chain expertise to improve cash flow, support acquisitions and restructurings, and build networks that can grow profitably.
