ABOUT US

 

LumiCore was created to solve a problem that every FMCG brand, distributor, and retailer faces: the gap between data and real in-store results. Too many teams make decisions based on assumptions, outdated reports, or scattered spreadsheets while shoppers make choices in seconds, and shelf conditions change every hour.


We built LumiCore to change that.

Our team brings together analysts, category leaders, commercial strategists, and retail execution specialists with one shared mission: turn shopper and sell-out data into actions that grow categories and build winning brands.
Not more reports but real clarity, real plans, and real results at the shelf.


LumiCore has supported multi-category portfolios across frozen foods, biscuits, beverages, dairy, personal care and more, partnering with manufacturers, distributors, and modern trade retailers. That balance is what makes our work different.


What sets LumiCore apart is simple:
We understand the numbers, and we understand the shelf.
We speak the languages of revenue growth, category management, shopper insight, sales operations, and field execution, and we translate them into solutions that teams can actually use.

Our Services

Complete Shopper Marketing Solutions

Organized by implementation priority to deliver maximum value at every stage of your growth journey.

Services

Each Service can start simple with must-have actions, then grow into nice-to-have and next-wave capabilities

A complete end-to-end Category Management evaluation that examines your performance across pricing, promotions, assortment, distribution, shelf layout, and shopper behaviour.
We build a holistic CATMAN framework that strengthens retailer partnerships, expands category value, and improves your brand’s competitive positioning inside every store.


An advanced RGM engine that integrates pricing strategy, promotion ROI, pack architecture, portfolio logic, and trade investment.
We identify profitable growth levers — where to increase price, where to defend share, where to promote, and how to structure pack tiers.
Every recommendation is anchored in real data and financial impact. 


A deep-dive into store clusters, channel maturity, shopper penetration, and competitive gaps to highlight pure expansion opportunities.
We quantify “where to go next” and provide a clear playbook to increase ND/WD, enter new formats, or defend threatened segments. 


We define your hero SKUs, core range, and optional assortment with a data-led MSL that guides field teams and guarantees consistent brand presence.
Our approach ensures high availability, improved SPPD, and stronger category performance across all outlet types. 


Using performance diagnostics, VMS%, price ladders, and shopper missions, we define which SKUs to keep, add, or delist.
This ensures a balanced, profitable portfolio — one that reflects shopper demand while managing complexity for retailers and field teams. 


We design insight-driven planograms that convert strategy into real shelf impact. Using facings logic, eye-level principles, brand blocking, fair-share-of-shelf analysis, and SKU roles, we build layouts that improve visibility, availability, and conversion. Whether for freezers, gondolas, ambient shelves, or secondaries, our planograms maximize space productivity and strengthen category performance. 


We help you understand why shoppers buy, how they buy, and what influences them at the shelf.
Through shopper missions, decision trees, in-store interviews, path-to-purchase analysis, and persona building, we uncover the behaviours that matter. These insights fuel strong category strategies, better activations, and data-driven decisions across channels. 


 We define what great execution looks like for your brand across every channel and store type. From shelving standards to facings, price communication, POSM placement, visibility rules, and compliance scoring, we build a Picture of Success that field teams can execute consistently. This brings alignment across sales, marketing, and trade teams—and transforms execution from “good enough” to industry-leading.


We design in-store activation strategies that recruit new shoppers, drive trial, and convert interest into purchase. From permanent and temporary POSM to seasonal campaigns, bundle mechanics, impulse triggers, and thematic displays, we build activation playbooks that influence shoppers at the most critical moment—right at the shelf. Every concept is grounded in data, shopper insight, and practical execution. 


PROCESS

How we work with your data & teams

Simple, transparent, and measurable—from the first data extract to live dashboards and in-store execution

Discover & Align

We clarify your business questions—promo ROI, pricing, space optimization, distribution—and audit data sources (POS, ERP, promo calendars, brand plans). 

Engineer & Analyse

We clean and model data, compute KPIs (SPPD, ND, WD, VMS%, uplift, incremental value/volume), and run the analytics that answer your questions across categories. 

Activate & Track

We convert insights into clear recommendations—by Brand, SKU, retailer and store—and set up dashboards to track performance over time.
