Key questions in brick-and-mortar retail?
Together we find the right answers.
How we maximize customer value -
our mission and service.
We ensure a better use of workforce in brick-and-mortar retail through demand orientation and continuous optimization. We work data-driven and use the latest technologies and applications. At the same time, the focus is on people and their challenges. Our service and packages base on the following four points:
Performance reports
We deliver key figures in a dashboard to support decision-making and continuous optimization.
Demand drivers and shift plan
We forecast visitors, revenue and other demand drivers, calculate the workload and plan shifts.
Consulting and support
We do interviews, facilitate workshops and give presentations to understand problems and challenges.
Technologies and applications
We install 3D sensors to collect data from visitors and combine them with other sources in one platform.
But why just now?
Why together with Optimes?
Even before Covid-19, profitability was one of the biggest challenges in brick-and-mortar retail. Your workforce is your most valuable asset and has a great leverage on it. With our core competence, together we unlock this often underestimated potential and win multiple times. This is even more important with the increasing importance of online retail.
Biggest challenge: Profitability
Profitability as one of the biggest challenges in brick-and-mortar retail*
* according to interviews with retailers (food and non-food)
Underestimated potential: Use of workforce
Better use of workforce as an often underestimated potential with high leverage on costs* and revenue
* according to surveys, workforce costs account mostly between 25 and 50% of total costs

Complex and workforce-intense operational processes are our domain - for more than 10 years.

Success stories from customers
who challenge and trust us
We are driven by a passion to continuously optimize and together maximize customer value. Partners and other organizations support us in this.
By using key figures such as revenue per working hour, Optimes has created real value for us.
Georgios Kontoleon
Value-creating with key figures in performance reports
Optimes has added real value for us. With key figures such as the realized revenue per working hour invested, we were able to react more quickly to the drop in guest numbers. In the context of the second wave (Covid-19), our revenue at Kraftwerk Café & Restaurant collapsed to half in just a few weeks. With Optimes, we are also constantly looking into new rosters for our service workforce in order to cover the workload that occurs as good as possible. My team and I are very much looking forward to working together in the future.
