Insight...! the hidden truths about retail financial performance

Design Insight - The hidden truth about Retail performance

Retail is a very competitive market place and will continue to be so. With margins being squeezed every aspect of the business has to add value to the bottom line and return on investment. Retail businesses understand point of sale technologies but few understand the drivers of retail financial performance before the customer commits to the sale, purchase or contract. By combining digital technologies with unique research methods Younique can help clients understand the hidden truths about their retail model and its relationship to the financial performance of an outlet. In many cases our Insight programmes release the financial potential every outlet has whilst minimising investment or the need for relocation.

Commercial, Cost and Value Management

Carrying out commercial management within the current market has been a major strength for Younique. Its pure range and diversity in the construction, retail, and governmental market sectors brings out the true multi-disciplinary skills we can offer to our commercial clients.

The ability to help define, guide and shape corporate real estate strategy and property business cases, and on the other manage multi trade activity with suppliers and contractors at the construction phase, is a significant advantage for our clients.

With fully qualified and experienced Quantity Surveyors younique can offer a full range of pre and post contract services to our clients. Claims advice and negotiation are also part of the services that can be provided should the need unfortunately arise.

With major investment programmes younique also offer clients value engineering and management services to ensure exenditure is targeted on the correct aspects. Those aspects that add most value to the eventual users/owners of the facilities being built.

Younique can offer independent information through workplace inspections; our consultants provide the basis for effective health and safety practice and risk management.

Our experience in promoting safer and healthier workplaces can introduce a greater awareness of health, safety and welfare issues and contribute to a positive safety culture. We can produce a report identifying best practices conducted on site as well as areas for improvement. A benchmarking score can then be allocated to reflect the health and safety performance level against company and legislative requirements.

The audit and review process assists clients in examining and improving risk management procedures and can help reduce insurance premiums.

Inspections are tailored to your company's specific requirements which are discussed in advance with our consultants.
