Building a scalable e-commerce & omnichannel commercial strategy

challenge.

KoRo, a high-growth FMCG brand, was shifting from a DTC-first business to a multi-channel operator. With growing channel complexity and margin pressure, commercial fundamentals required reinforcement. Focus was placed on three questions:

​

  • How to build a scalable pricing architecture across channels and geographies?

  • How to professionalize working capital management in a fast-growing product business?

  • How to align the e-commerce and retail strategy under a unified commercial roadmap?

approach.

Framing the commercial transformation around three building blocks: 1) Pricing strategy, 2) Working capital management, and 3) E-commerce & Omnichannel strategy.

​

  1. Pricing strategy
    Designing a price architecture that reflected omni-channel implications, cost structures, and brand positioning. Implementing value-, competition- and cost based pricing  logic to protect profitability across geographies. Introducing governance for promotional and discounting activities to reduce erosion. Aligning pricing decisions with revenue and margin targets.

  2. Working capital management
    Improving product -level contribution visibility to inform buying decisions. Introducing procurement guardrails based on sell-through, and capital efficiency metrics. Linking planning and replenishment with commercial demand signals to reduce overstock and capital lock-in. Defining roles and KPIs across functions to embed working capital thinking into decision-making.

  3. E-commerce & Omnichannel strategy
    Structuring channel portfolio into strategic clusters to align with growth levers: core DTC, marketplace expansion, and retail partnerships. Prioritizing international rollout through local hero SKUs and price-pack architecture. Harmonizing content, pricing, and supply logic across platforms to improve efficiency. Building a cross-functional commercial roadmap to synchronize efforts across product, marketing, and operations

results

  • ​Established a pricing backbone supporting margin discipline across DTC and retail.

  • Reduced working capital friction through commercially informed procurement and planning.

  • Built an omnichannel framework enabling strategic channel roles, geographic expansion, and cross-functional alignment
