All too often we have seen those businesses that do attempt to categorise their products take a one or two-dimensional view of what is important to them.

Some may compare sales values against unit throughputs, or level of demand volatility. Some may look at cubic or weight throughputs and compare them to Sales Values.

We believe that it is important to look at your range of product behaviours in three dimensions. Thie enable you to look at not only how products behave physically, but also commercially. This is the advantage our SKUBE® application give us, and our clients.

Our SKUBE® application lets our customers see with total clarity how their products compare. This can be by product category & sub-category, by supplier, or even by location where you stock your products.

Our application helps you decide if your products are categorised in the right way, stored in the right locations or given the TLC they need within your physical supply chain.

We have over 30 different behaviour measures that we can compare, so we can ultimately completely tailor the outputs of our analysis to meet what’s important to your business. After all, every business and product set is different, and so might your commercial focus and objectives be. Our model helps you to cut through to the right strategies.

Categorise by your values

Set your categorisation objecdtives to meet how you do business.

In some organisations you may be heavily driven by product behaviours. In others it may be down to your up-stream supply chain or supplier challenges. It could even be how you manage production.

What we find tends to unify all our clients is the need to really understand the impact of product gross margin on the successful categorisation of their product portfolio. It was because so many traditional methods of analysis did not take this into account that we developed our SKUBE® application.

We use our SKUBE® app in nearly all our supply chain and warehouse consultancy projects to create real value from the process.
