Management One
Tucson (February 23rd, 2010) – Management One®, a leading International Retail Consulting firm specializing in working with independent retail stores and boutiques with inventory planning, management processes, cash flow planning, and marketing, announced today that Robert Reedy has joined the company as an independent affiliate. Reedy will be providing consulting services to specialty retailers primarily in the San Francisco Bay area and Northern California, although Robert has the freedom to work clients in any part of the United States. Management One® does not limit their affiliates to designated territories.
“We’ve known of Robert Reedy for many years, and it is a ‘dream come true’ for Management One® to work with him,” said Marc Weiss and Evan Wise, Managing Directors of Management One®. “Robert has an incredible background in retail planning, operations, and marketing. His experience, coupled with the services we provide, is exactly what will help the independent retailer to not only survive but prosper even in these challenging times.”
Robert began his retailing career working for a regional men’s wear chain in Ohio while attending the Ohio State University. He moved to San Francisco California in June of 1974 and worked for the next 13 years as a store manager, GM and Buyer with several specialty retail chain-store operations. Robert left the retail clothing business in 1987 to become an analyst for a national retail consulting firm, where he spent the next 23 years working with independent retail operations of all types and sizes; in 2007 he was promoted to the position of Senior VP in charge of West Coast Sales. At the end of 2009 Robert resigned his position to join forces with Management One and opened his own retail consulting firm called “Reedy Consulting & Analysis”.
Management One® is committed to helping retailers grow their businesses profitably. Today Management One® is a leading provider of information and processes to retailers in the United States, Canada, Ireland, The United Kingdom, and France. The company was founded in 1990 by its 2 principals, Evan Wise and Marc Weiss. The firm has grown organically by attracting some of the best and brightest players in the retail community. Their International reach has established Management One® as one of the premiere retail planning and consulting companies in the United States.
“My affiliation with Management One® enables me to give the kind of help and guidance to retailers that they have been missing for many years. I know this will help them improve their bottom line,” said Reedy.
Weiss, Wise and Reedy agree that their consulting takes them deep into retail organizations, as the planning they provide often points up other areas that need help. Often, the two find themselves assisting in sales training, vendor negotiations, financial planning, information technology, hiring/firing, and payroll analysis. Retailers typically find a return on investment of up to 15 times in the first year.
“There really isn’t an area of the retail business that we can’t help with,” said Reedy. “We’
