Strategic Mistakes
Clear strategy prevents these common operational and commercial failures. We diagnose the root cause and advise on corrective action, ensuring a sustainable marketplace operation.
Impact: Slow growth, high operational cost, and missed revenue opportunities due to lack of marketplace supply.
Cogent Approach: We audit the full seller lifecycle, from recruitment to activation, identifying process gaps and proposing a scalable operating model, including automation where appropriate, to accelerate seller onboarding and catalogue activation.
Impact: Degraded customer experience, increased customer service queries, and reduced conversion rates due to poor product data quality.
Cogent Approach: We define a robust product data governance strategy, clarifying the roles of product and offer, and design the integration architecture between Mirakl and the PIM to enforce data standards and maintain a clean catalogue.
Impact: Marketplace operation becomes a cost centre rather than a revenue driver, diverting resources from more profitable channels.
Cogent Approach: Our specialists analyse the current commercial model, perform category profitability assessments, and recommend adjustments to commission rates and incentive structures to ensure long-term profitability and sustainable growth.
