Summary

Bluestones One were selected as the merchandising partner to deliver a full estate roll out of capping shelves. The project objective was to introduce an additional high-level shelf to gondolas to provide shop floor product storage. This delivered immediate stock replenishment, customer product availability, and store staffing productivity and efficiency enhancements.

Challenges

The requirement to support the de-merchandising and re-merchandising across the full estate showed Bluestones One’s ability to upscale resourcing requirements at speed throughout the entire UK, strengthening our field team coverage across all geographical locations.

It also allowed us to develop and increase our field team skill set. As a result of this major project, we have now up-skilled new Team Leaders supporting, coaching and directing them through their journey to the leadership of large teams.

Results

This activity has shown Bluestones One’s ability to be proactive and innovative in responding to the challenges of a full estate project rollout of this size.
