Travel Retail portfolio optimization

Decide which products deserve space and investment.

We help FMCG teams turn fragmented SKU, category, customer and shopper evidence into a clear Travel Retail portfolio strategy—supported by AI where it improves the speed and depth of analysis.

The decision

A broad range is not automatically a strong portfolio.

Travel Retail adds unusual constraints: limited space, international shoppers, channel-specific pack roles, customer economics and a high cost of complexity. Domestic-market logic rarely transfers cleanly.

We create an evidence-based role for each part of the portfolio and make the trade-offs explicit, so marketing, sales and category teams can work from the same decision model.

01 / Diagnose

Where is the range working?

Read performance, distribution, customer and category signals together.

02 / Prioritize

What role should each SKU play?

Separate traffic, margin, premium, innovation and customer-specific roles.

03 / Decide

What changes next?

Build retain, remove, test and invest scenarios with clear implications.
