What is Category Management?

Category Management is a strategic process where an organization segments its spending into specific areas with similar or connected products and services to support their business needs and demands.

It also includes a specific approach for company direct and indirect products, services and analyzing their value, volume, suppliers and RTM (route to market).

When doing accordingly, it is feasible to perceive where the source of high costs is and on what the focus and priority should be shifted.

Why is Category Management important?

Applying category management has great benefits on organizations. Its results can be quite enormous than traditional transactional-based purchasing methodology and have great value added impact.

This approach regulates your procurement resources to focus on specific areas of spend and include Supplier Relationship Management.
