Protect & grow margin
Most of the impact comes from margin protection. Even small basis-point wins compound fast across A$30m of revenue per store.
+5 to +30 bps
A finance-ready model of what Retail+ is worth in your business. Built from inputs you already know: revenue, gross margin, labour cost.
Most of the impact comes from margin protection. Even small basis-point wins compound fast across A$30m of revenue per store.
Recover sales you'd otherwise miss through faster, smarter execution - spotting and fixing issues earlier in the day, not at quarter-end.
Free up team time and reduce costly errors by turning every exception into a clear task and list - closed with proof.
By the time you spot a problem - a promo that's not set up, stock that's missing, a category drifting - you've already lost sales and margin. Retail+ closes the loop in real time.

Run a pilot in a small store set with matched controls. Keep scope tight. The math will speak for itself.
Retail+ concentrates value in five retailer levers:
Using an assumed A$30m revenue per store, the model estimates annual per-store value of ~A$32.5k (Conservative), ~A$100.7k (Moderate), ~A$221.4k (Aggressive) - net of subscription.
Retail+ matters because it compresses the loop from "spot" → "diagnose" → "act" → "confirm" using live analytics plus execution tooling (tasks & lists), with Hank enabling analyst-like Q&A against live performance patterns.

Three scenarios (Conservative / Moderate / Aggressive) representing differences in data readiness, adoption cadence, execution discipline, and (optionally) supplier participation.
Across retailers, the recurring constraints are remarkably consistent.
When insight arrives weekly or monthly, issues have already leaked sales and margin. Retail+ shortens that latency to hours.
Good decisions don't pay if store execution is inconsistent. Tasks + Lists explicitly target "nothing slips through the cracks".
Small basis-point improvements applied to a large sales base become material profit. Margin bps is the dominant sensitivity.
The opportunity is usually capacity unlock - better prioritisation, faster "truth checks", less ad-hoc reporting. Not headcount reduction.
Retailers want clearer, data-backed joint business planning - and optionally to convert reporting burden into governed supplier-paid access.
Retail+ includes - at the time of writing:

| Overlap haircut | 15% of (GP sales uplift + GP margin gain) | Medium |
| Discount rate (NPV) | 8% (replace with your WACC) | Medium |
| Adoption ramp (10 yrs) | Y1 40%, Y2 70%, Y3 90%, Y4–10 100% | Med–Low |
| Driver | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales uplift (% of revenue) | 0.20% | 0.50% | 1.00% |

| Supplier contribution margin (optional) | A$5k/yr | A$15k/yr | A$40k/yr |
We quantify five impact areas (annual, per store):
R = A$30,000,000; GM = 27%; labour = A$35/hr; overlap haircut = 15%.
| Impact area | Conservative | Moderate | Aggressive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incremental sales (revenue) | 60,000 | 150,000 | 300,000 |
| GP from sales uplift | 16,200 | 40,500 | 81,000 |
| GP from margin gain | 15,000 | 45,000 | 90,000 |
| Less: overlap haircut (15%) | (4,680) | (12,825) | (25,650) |
| Captured hours returned value | 2,184 | 7,280 | 15,288 |
| Compliance / risk avoided (EV) | 3,000 | 10,000 | 25,000 |
| Supplier contribution margin (optional) | 5,000 | 15,000 | 40,000 |
| Subtotal - gross value | 36,704 | 104,955 | 225,638 |
| Less: Retail+ subscription | (4,200) | (4,200) | (4,200) |
| Total - net annual value / store | 32,504 | 100,755 | 221,438 |
Using R = 30m, GM = 27%, overlap haircut k = 15%.
Key takeaway: the model is most sensitive to margin basis points, then sales uplift, then supplier CM, then hours returned.
Base Moderate total = A$104,955 / store / year.

Sales uplift and margin gain can overlap (mix, availability, promo effects).
Dashboards without behaviour change yield little.
Hours returned may not convert directly to cash.
Commercial upside depends on supplier appetite and governance.
Some features are explicitly marked "coming soon".
Benchmarks are used as plausibility bounds - headroom and mechanism support - not as guarantees.
Supports "faster insight → higher productivity / output" directionality.
Anchors that on-shelf availability is material and process-driven; supports sales-recapture plausibility.
Supports that some OOS becomes truly lost sales; informs conservative recapture assumptions.
Execution failures are common and profit-damaging; justifies tooling that closes the loop.
Space and layout interventions can move sales - informing the "Spaces" mechanism.
Calibrates GM% for scaling uplift to GP$.
Informs labour value of hours returned.
Supplier-paid data access can be structurally high-contribution - governance-dependent.
