Expansion Services from Strategy to Execution

Risk Assessments

AMZ Risk performs comprehensive risk assessments designed to help organizations identify and measure risks and potential threats. We conduct our assessments using open-source security reporting, including geographic risk landscape, crime trends, local law enforcement statistical reporting, and industry trends. Findings are analyzed in accordance with modern theories, academic research, established standards, industry best practices, and case studies. Our ultimate goal is to provide actionable insights that empower your organization to strengthen its resilience to risks and adverse events and enable informed decision-making and strategic planning.

Expansion Cost Planning

The best time to engage AMZ Risk is early in the site selection and budgeting phase. This allows our experts to weigh in on the risk profile of the proposed sites and local laws and regulations that could impact build out and operations. By mitigating risks early, brands can create a more realistic budget and avoid delays. AMZ Risk also specializes in working with high-end brands. We understand how important it is to protect the brand and the customer experience during expansion.

Policy Development

AMZ Risk evaluates existing processes and policies in areas such as inventory management, theft prevention, fraud detection, emergency response, cash handling, employee training, and technology. The learnings from this evaluation form the basis for customized policies in new territories. With each new policy, our goal is to preserve what makes your brand distinctive while adapting it for new cultures, languages, and market expectations.

Vendor Vetting

Our meticulous vetting process is designed to identify, evaluate, and select reputable technology suppliers and service providers to meet your organization’s specific needs. Once a vendor has been identified for consideration, either by you or by our team, we begin a rigorous due diligence process to fully vet and understand the vendor’s reputation, history, strengths and opportunities. Our goal is to ensure that you have access to trusted partners who can contribute to your organization’s success and growth.
