What is the USP? How and through which channels do your customers buy? ![4227](https://www.umdasch.com/upload/assets/05_Competences/Design-Consulting/4227.jpg) 3 Product range analysis & customer journey What requirements does the product range have and how does it influence the spatial arrangement? Based on this, we design a seamless customer journey with analogue and digital touchpoints. ![Image Material Nachhaltigkeit](https://www.umdasch.com/upload/assets/05_Competences/Design-Consulting/Image_Material_Nachhaltigkeit_2025-03-26-123744_rxjl.JPG) 4 Sustainable Design Consulting Our shop consultants design creative and appealing stores - always with sustainable solutions in mind.

What function does each piece of furniture fulfil? Topics such as orientation and visual axes are incorporated into the planning in this step before the final design is finalised. ![Grundriss Eg Damen](https://www.umdasch.com/upload/assets/05_Competences/Design-Consulting/Grundriss-Eg-Damen.PNG) 7 Design planning Now it's time for the finer details: Materials, colours, shapes and branding elements are finally defined.
