Tariff Mitigation Services

Stop Tariffs from Squeezing Margins and Driving Away Customers

New tariffs threaten to raise costs, disrupt supply chains, and weaken demand if price hikes are passed to consumers. Impact Analytics delivers AI-native strategies to keep your business resilient. From optimizing pricing to supplier negotiations and strategic category planning, we help you absorb costs smartly—protecting margins while maintaining customer demand.

Tariff Hikes Drive Volatility Across Retail

Tariffs disrupt markets, pressuring pricing, supply chains, and margins. Price adjustments help, but raising prices risks demand loss while holding steady erodes margins. Effective mitigation requires finding the sweet spot between demand loss and margin erosion while reducing input costs through procurement optimization. Retailers must act quickly across key decision points for consumers and suppliers.

Suppliers Icon Critical Decision Points: Suppliers
  • What share of tariff hike can be passed to the suppliers?
  • What leverage do I hold for negotiating purchase prices with suppliers?
  • How can I optimize sourcing to minimize costs? Can I source from alternate suppliers and locations? How will this impact my supply chain?
Consumers Icon Critical Decision Points: Consumers
  • For which items do I increase prices, and how much should the price increase? How will this impact the demand?
  • Which categories should I lead in, and which should I follow the market on for price adjustments?
  • Can I leverage promotions and clearance strategies to entice spending?
