What Rimak does for you
Six areas of expertise, one goal: a better-organized, more profitable business, ready to grow.
Store operations and business intelligence
Stores that perform day after day: structure, processes, inventory and indicators that lead to decisions — including staffing and labour relations.
Omni-channel selling
Store, website and marketplaces working together — Amazon.ca, eBay and Walmart.ca — for a consistent customer experience.
Financial planning and cost control
Realistic budgets, rigorous tracking of margins and costs, and financial decisions made on facts.
Store construction, renovation and procurement
From design to opening: store construction and renovation, plus equipment procurement, managed with rigour.
IT modernization
Cloud computing, systems integrations and new software platforms: IT that supports operations instead of holding them back.
An approach in four steps
No copied-and-pasted model: a method sized to your reality, followed through to results.
Methodical organization
Bringing order to how things get done: clear structures, documented processes, defined responsibilities.
Strategic planning
Realistic objectives, clear priorities, and a plan teams can actually follow.
Technical guidance
Practical advice on tools, systems and partners — chosen for your reality, not for fashion.
Rigorous execution
Follow-through to the end: plans don't stay on paper, they turn into results.
An outside eye, straight advice
Coach and mentor, Richard Martel builds high-performance teams by pulling everyone's strengths together, breaking down silos, and keeping the customer at the centre of every decision. That is the experience he now puts, through Rimak, at the service of start-ups and small and medium businesses.
