“We’re very pleased to welcome Chloe into Atheon Consulting – her retail and accounting background broadens the capabilities of the senior team, and her experience in using Omniscope in retail analysis scenarios, whilst at Sainsbury’s, is of significant interest to many of our existing customers.”

Such techniques have been put to good use by Atheon Consulting in the retail sector, for example allowing clients to map stock levels and drill down to identify successful/problem stores. Such insight has been appreciated by clients, who have benefitted from the quick analysis potential of this dimension of Omniscope.

“The two main ways it’s changed how I work is with the amount of data I can process and the speed at which I can drill an investigation. The other area, which we are just starting to exploit, is using Omniscope to create Model/Template for PIRs which means it’s very quick to analyse different categories by changing the software.”

The Sainsbury’s team also commented positively on Atheon Consulting: “The team come across as Omniscope enthusiasts, and really embrace what Omniscope can do....”

Colgate-Palmolive (UK) Ltd, based in Guildford is the UK Commercial Operations branch of the world’s leading manufacturer of oral care products. The team are responsible for the management of the full portfolio of products and the development of long-term strategic business relationships with their retail partners. The Colgate-Palmolive customer development team manage every aspect of the relationship between Colgate and the accounts.

Rich data was available to the Colgate-Palmolive Account team; however using it to its fullest potential was both time consuming and complex. Building a sophisticated picture of future performance was a challenge. Atheon Consulting worked closely with the Account team to build a model that allows flexible analysis and has become central to long-term decision making. The team have been trained on the model in terms of how to best draw data insight and how to update it for future use. Feedback from the Account team has been universally positive, and the team have already used the model with the retailer to highlight risks and opportunities.

Guy Cuthbert, Managing Director, said "We've introduced a new look and feel to our website to reflect the growing maturity of the Atheon busiensses, and the simplicity and focus of our Organise, Analyse, Utilise approach to commercial insight."

"We're lucky to have customers and business partners who never shy from voicing their opinion on how we perform. The feedback from all quarters was that Atheon delivers great results in black and white... so the theme for our new branding was handed to us by those who know us best."

The new clean cut approach has been deployed on the Atheon group website, as well as sister company Atheon Software Products, and marks the transition from one financial year to another.

Guy went on to say "2008/2009 was a great year for Atheon Consulting, with turnover, client base and project scale increasingly dramatically. We experienced revenue growth of around 100% and have seen project scope and value increase nearly threefold, thanks to the continued evolution of the Atheon approach and the value of the insight we have been able to deliver to clients such as Nestle, Sainsbury's, Colgate and EMI."
