Category Planning

Effective category management requires a deep understanding about the market place from which your organisations buys and the changes that are likely to effect that market and most importantly what this means for your organisation.

As category experts we have developed a category planning methodology, which provides Procurement and Supply Chain professionals with a structured approach to gaining information and insights to the market place from which a sourcing strategy can be developed. Developing a category plan should be the first stage to a strategic sourcing exercise.

We work with your team to create the category plan by delivering the following;

• Developing the category plan approach
• Market place research
• Completion of the assessment models
• Scenario planning
• Development of a category strategy
