Our methodology

ARISTID Audit is built on close, field-level immersion with operational teams, led by experts in retail production. Each role is observed from the inside: how a product manager prepares a campaign, how with modifications moves between headquarters and store teams, which documents structure the process, how workloads are estimated, and where operational friction really lies. We also map every micro-task in detail to capture the full reality of day-to-day execution.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about retail promotion planning

Does ARISTID only handle prepress?

No. ARISTID covers the full retail marketing communications value chain from assessing your processes to producing final assets. Our technology expertise and Creative Services are designed to work together, because the core challenges are rarely creative alone. They often involve organization, tools, workflows, and people.

How does a collaboration with ARISTID start?

We always start with an assessment. Even when the initial need is focused on a specific scope such as catalog, automation, or creative production, we take the time to understand your context before making any recommendation. This ensures actionable guidance and a frictionless kickoff.

Will automation replace my creative teams?

No, quite the opposite. ARISTID Automation is designed to help your teams spend less time on repetitive production tasks and more time on creativity, content strategy, and high-value decisions. Our creative automation engineers systematically work hand in hand with art direction.

What types of retailers do you work with?

ARISTID primarily supports national retailers and multi-store retail networks with high volumes and complex organizations. Our model is built for complexity: multiple banners, multiple formats, multiple stakeholders, and multiple promotional cycles.

How long does Audit take?

Assessment typically involves our teams for 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the complexity of your organization. The final readout always includes a prioritized action plan and a support proposal for the next steps, designed to avoid any disruption to your business.

Can ARISTID support international operations?

Yes. Our teams manage adaptations across European markets, including language localization, market-specific creative adjustments, and local regulatory requirements. You benefit from a single point of contact to ensure global consistency.
