Why RTN?

Our team of passionate consultants are dedicated to the natural foods industry, eager to share their expertise with you.

In February 2021, Run The Numbers was launched to address a crucial need: helping young brands understand their financials and the costs of doing business in Grocery Retail. As former brokers, founders, sales managers, COOs, and distributors, we recognized that brands with revenues from $0-$10M often lack financial awareness and tend to seize every opportunity presented to them. However, not all opportunities are equal. Some involve significant costs and may take one to three years to yield returns. Our goal is to change this by offering a transparent approach to understanding retail costs and empowering you to make decisions that best suit your business, rather than relying on outdated practices.

As brands grow to the $10-$50M range, many still struggle to comprehend their numbers, missing opportunities for innovation, promotions, and optimizing retailer performance. This is where we come in as your Fractional Data Analytics Team. While you might not need a full-time analyst, reaching this level necessitates a keen focus on your financial metrics. We help you answer critical questions such as which retailer requires more promotions, whether a particular SKU is suitable for the market, and where profits were made or lost last year.
