Know exactly where your product stands — before you meet a buyer.
A structured, independent assessment that tells you what to adapt, what to keep, and what to invest in before entering the German, Austrian and Swiss retail market.
Five pillars of DACH retail readiness.
Every assessment follows the same rigorous framework — the categories differ, the discipline does not.
Partnership Commitment
Before we begin, we align with every manufacturer on a shared long-term commitment to the DACH market — a clear mandate, mutual accountability, and the willingness to work as true partners throughout the entry journey.
Product & Packaging
Format, language, mandatory declarations, sustainability claims, and shelf-ready presentation reviewed against DACH retailer specifications.
Regulatory Compliance
EU food law, LMIV/FIC labelling, allergen management, non-food and cosmetics requirements, GS1 and GTIN readiness.
Pricing & Margin Model
Cost-to-shelf modelling with realistic retailer margins, promotional expectations and category price benchmarks.
Competitive Positioning
Category mapping, key competitors, private label pressure and a defensible USP for the DACH shopper.
A clear, actionable readiness report.
No slideware. A working document your team can execute against — and share confidently with retail buyers.
