RETAILER CHALLENGE: Is Click & Collect the best starting place for my omni-channel offerings?

The Cushman & Wakefield Edge Our professionals have market-leading experience partnering with retailers on developing alternative ways to leverage store footprint.

Click & Collect is not nearly as easy, cost effective, or successful for the consumer as it may seem, although to the retailer it may seem simple in the ability to leverage existing stores to meet consumer interest.

Fulfillment from store shelves to consumer OR shipping individual online orders to the store demands a different labor plan and store space layout model.

A retailer’s inventory management system will make or break the consumer experience for Click & Collect—if strong it will instill consumer trust; if weak it will lead to a poor consumer experience overall.

RETAILER CHALLENGE: How do I decide if I should lease or own my retail and logistics assets?

The Cushman & Wakefield Edge Our specialized capital markets and financial analysis teams work with retailers by providing supporting resources in evaluating, planning, and executing sales/lease transactions, site selection, and retail & logistics brokerage for new or expanded physical networks.

Answering the ‘lease vs. own’ question is contingent upon an array of factors such as business culture, ownership structure, demands for capital within other aspects of the business, as well as the nature of the balance sheet, taxes, cash flow management, and the local market characteristics.
