Serv-U-Success

Serv-U-Success is a retail merchandising and distribution company serving grocery chains and the brands they carry. Founded in 1947 with a single truck, the firm now employs nearly 2,000 people and operates across six Midwestern states, where its teams work in more than 200 stores. The company runs three warehouses and combines warehousing, distribution and in-store product management within one operation.

Its central model is 1-to-1 in-store staffing: highly-trained teams are placed directly in each store to manage shelf presentation, promotions and service projects. Close integration between those teams and the company's distribution network allows new products to be deployed often within 24 hours of delivery, while full-chain pull-and-plug resets - changes of assortment or product placement across an entire retail chain - have been completed in as little as 48 hours.

Work at Serv-U-Success spans supply chain and logistics operations, warehousing, and hands-on retail execution, including planogram execution and retail promotion deployment. The company describes its relationships with retail partners as long-term and closely integrated, and its staff as the link between consumer packaged goods brands and the retailers that sell them.
