Category Management | Martec International

This step in the learning path is available as content within the Retail and Consumer Goods Wiki and EPSS.  Category Management is a discipline and set of management processes applied to products, which are available all year round. 

Many consumer goods companies provide their smaller retail customers with category management support to help them be successful selling their products.

Many companies provide their retail customers with recommended planograms, or shelf layout plans, to help make sure their products are on the shelf and displayed in the optimum way.
