14 | Orgill Case Study The Smart Start Process Orgill’s Smart Start program includes hundreds of different assortments and thousands of different planograms across a variety of departments and categories. These ensure retailers offer a complete product presentation that is fully supported by Orgill’s warehouse programs. Orgill’s Smart Start program, which began in 2008, plays a key role in making store and departmental conversions quick and easy. Orgill’s Smart Start is developed together with the industry’s leading vendors to offer retailers converting to Orgill or looking to refresh their offering the ability to replace their existing inventory with newly updated and enhanced assortments that are warehouse-backed and optimized to drive profitability and meet the unique needs of the market. “We knew going in that our Smart Start program would provide a good fit for what the K&C Supply team was looking for,” Barker says. “After our walk-throughs and an examination of the data, we were right on target with our expectations and were able to use this as the basis for our proposal.” Because of the wide range of Smart Start assortments Orgill has developed, this solution can meet the needs of a wide range of markets. Each Smart Start assortment is optimized to make sure the offering is robust and that any holes in existing assortments are filled. For K&C Supply, Barker initially identified more than 60 Smart Start assortments that could potentially work for the store. Before After After
