Overview
Alamieh has established itself as a premier furniture and home design retailer, specializing in modern kitchens, bedrooms, closets, and doors. With a focus on American and German kitchen designs, the company has built a strong reputation for quality finishes and contemporary aesthetics.
As the business experienced rapid growth, operational bottlenecks began to emerge. Inventory management became increasingly complex, customer satisfaction started to decline, and coordination between design and installation teams created friction in the delivery process.
Our CRIT Method™ assessment platform analyzed Alamieh's organizational structure, examining workflow efficiency across their showrooms, warehouses, and installation operations to identify areas for improvement.
The Challenge
Alamieh faced several critical operational challenges:
- Inventory Complexity: Managing diverse product lines across kitchens, bedrooms, and closets with varying lead times
- Customer Experience: Declining satisfaction due to delivery delays and communication gaps

- Cross-Team Coordination: Friction between design, sales, and installation teams
- Growth Management: Scaling operations while maintaining quality standards
