What 0600 does

Two practices. One platform. The same operator's lens.

Wholesale readiness

Adding wholesale is an operating decision, not a channel decision.

For direct-to-consumer brands adding wholesale, and for international brands entering the US. The plan, the organisation behind it, and the first season run with the team.

Wholesale readiness and US market entry → Operating consulting

Strategy, the organisation to run it, and AI inside the workflows.

Traditional strategy and operations work, done by an operator, with AI applied where the hours go: planning, merchandising, reporting and the customer. The inventory read is one of its products.

Operating consulting and the inventory read → The platform

The view the brand keeps.

A decision-support platform on the brand's own data, built by 0600 and in production at fashion brands today. A tool inside the work, priced separately, and the view that stays when the work ends.

How the platform works →
Engagement

A retainer, a role or a project.

Most work runs on a retainer: 0600 fills a defined role inside the brand for a period, or carries a set of projects alongside the team, with a monthly fee and a written scope. Discrete projects, such as the wholesale readiness read or the inventory read, are priced as fixed fees. Either way the work is done with the team, and what gets built stays with the brand.

Role

An interim or fractional seat

A defined role inside the brand for a period, with a written scope and a defined handover.

Projects

A set of workstreams on a retainer

The projects the brand needs carried, done alongside the team and reviewed monthly.

Fixed fee

A read or a plan

Scoped and priced up front: the wholesale readiness read, the wholesale plan, the inventory read.

Special situations

Due diligence and interim leadership.

When a brand is being bought, financed or fixed, 0600 does commercial and operating diligence written for a decision on capital, and takes interim operating seats while the plan is executed.

For investors, lenders and boards
Work

In partnership.

Most relationships continue past the first brief.
