How is the Everest Group Top 50™ Store Services Providers 2026 determined?

There are two distinct steps involved in determining the Top 50 Store Services Providers:

  • Qualification criteria: A provider must generate a minimum of US$5 million in annual revenue specifically from store services to be considered for inclusion. Store services revenue includes services tied directly to in-store environments across back-end management, store operations, and in-store experience. Revenue attributable purely to supply chain management, procurement, digital commerce, or e-commerce platform services is excluded, unless it meaningfully supports physical store operations
  • Rank determination: The service providers are assigned a final rank based on a weighted composite score across three key parameters – market presence, portfolio mix, and innovation and investment. The respective weights across these three parameters are presented in the chart below
