The art and science of retail

Business is creative, like painting where technology is science and knowledge. We bridge both skills to implement the perfect retail solution.

“We are a retail focused consulting firm, helping retailers to be more competitive”

Our firm is headed by recognized leaders with extensive experience in retail and Information technology for over 30 years. Our principles are actively involved in all engagements, and have real-world experience as business owners.

That deep and focused experience transforms into a meaningful understanding of your retail reality and sets us apart. From our first meeting, we believe you’ll notice that XSi is not your typical retail consulting firm. The reason is simple: Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive solutions that will transform your business.

“We make your problems our priority and your goals our mission”
