Omnichannel unified commerce retailers are now more digitally enabled than ever. At the same time, the retail sector is facing unprecedented challenges: meeting consumer demands, responding to ESG regulatory changes and investing in digital transformation are required to help retailers keep pace with industry trends and counter evolving threats.
Some retailers have started to act, but all concede they have more to do. This is where we come in.
At KPMG, our deep industry knowledge of leading practice across the global and Australian retail sectors within our one stop shop of advisory, audit & tax services, enables our clients to meet and exceed consumer and business expectations.

Digital transformation
We provide comprehensive digital transformation services to help you keep pace with changes in the global and Australian retail sectors to meet customer needs.
Data and automation
Collecting data will only enhance your business performance if you know how to protect, secure and harness it. We help Australian retailers leverage their data and unlock the power of AI to create value for their business and their customers.
Operational excellence and efficiency
In the constantly evolving retail industry, it’s imperative to continuously improve the processes, systems and tools that drive consistent, long term value for your business. Our team can help you implement improvement methodologies for maximum operational potential.
Operating model design and implementation
We provide retailers with leading practice across their entire operating model, through every function, across all levels of business maturity, to accelerate business and technology transformations.
Supply chain efficiency and transformation
Evolving service delivery models require end-to-end thinking and expertise, increasing the level of interdependency across all business functions, along with full scale supply chain innovations and enhancements.
Pricing and margin optimisation
With thin retail margins, efficiency and productivity through capability, process and automation can be combined throughout the retail value chain to invest to grow.
Audit, assurance and risk management
We uncover insights in data and financial information to deliver efficiency and value to retail clients with the highest quality audit and assurance.
ESG strategy and operationalisation
Retailers are adapting to ESG regulatory changes, navigating technology complexity, and mitigating operational risks. We help you understand what ESG means for your business – equipping you with the insights, advice and technologies you need to accelerate your ESG journey.
