Space&Profit Services
We offer 3 basic types of merchendising depending on the wishes of our clients
‐ Traditional Basic Merchandising service
‐ Extended Merchandising service
‐ Retail Full Service.
Most of our clients evetually decided to move from the traditional Basic Merchendising to a more sophisticated level of services because of their acknowledgement that by doing so they will perform better on the market and significantly reduce all costs.
We take full responsibility and contractually guarantee long term achievement of distribution & sales plans. In order to be able to guarantee the KPI’s set, we only work for a limited amount of customers. (maximum of 7-8) Our aim has never been to have the largest company on the market and oversell the biggest amount of MD hours.
By our coverage of both Czech and Slovak Market, the ability to keep the maximum distribution, amount of correctly executed activites and modern reporting system StoreData, we become a strong partner of all our clients.
