Send me one export. I’ll name the good accounts that should have reordered by now.

Free, within five working days of a usable export arriving, with the move I’d make on each, as I do inside Solinco. You keep the list either way.

Ask for your list

Two minutes. I’ll reply by email with a secure link for your export.

Enquiry details are used to respond to you, not automatically added to a marketing list. I don’t sell your information. Retaain uses trusted service providers where needed to operate the website and deliver its services. Privacy Policy.

Got it. Thank you.

I’ll reply by email with a secure link for one export of your customers and orders. Once a usable export is in, your list comes back within five working days.

While you wait, this is what I do with the same reading inside a wholesale business.

  1. Ask for itA short form. No customer data yet.
  2. Send one exportCustomers and orders, from the system you already use. No logins and no access to anything.
  3. Get your listWithin five working days of a usable export arriving. If it’s useful, we go through it together on a 30 minute call.

What’s in it

  • Every good account past its own normal reorder point, and by how much
  • The move I’d make on each: an email, a call from your rep, or leave it alone for now
  • A plain read on how your customer base is buying overall

Your data

Your export is used only to build your list. It comes to me through a secure link, it never goes into a marketing list, and if we don’t go on to work together I delete it within 30 days of sending your list.

Names, gaps and one move each. Nothing to interpret.

Every account is read against its own normal, so a slow account and a seasonal one never look the same.

Illustrative accounts. Your list uses your own customers, named.

What you’d ask me before sending anything.

Why is it free?
Because it’s the fastest way for both of us to see whether this is worth doing. If what I find isn’t worth acting on, I’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
One export of customers and their orders, ideally the last two years. Rough is fine. I’ll tell you if anything important is missing. The five working days start once I have a usable export.
What happens after I get the list?
That’s up to you. If it shows something worth fixing, I’ll tell you what I’d do and what it would cost. Either way, the list is yours.
Does asking commit me to anything?
No. The list doesn’t sign you up to anything. If we don’t go on to work together, I delete your export within 30 days of sending your list.
