The Foundation
In our journey of developing digital tools that support the 15M structure, we have decided to focus on one of the most essential elements of a cohesive procurement strategy: category management.
As one of our core strengths, we have experience in applying category management strategy to create competitive advantages for several companies. Leveraging Ivalua’s comprehensive source-to-pay capabilities, our add-on enhances category strategy by embedding it within the broader procurement landscape, helping you unlock its full competitive advantage.
Additionally, this solution offers a sustainable, company-wide tracking system for category strategy actions, ensuring greater visibility, alignment, and long-term success.
Our category strategy success story
15M Category Management © Add-on
Seamlessly integrated into the Ivalua platform and aligned with the Category Strategies pillar (SP2) of the 15M architecture, the add-on transforms your inputs into a structured approach, delivering exclusive strategies tailored to each category type. Here is how our framework is translated into practice.
The add-on enables detailed Spend Analysis, Category Segmentation, Risk Assessment, Supplier Preferences, Market Analysis, and key factors like Cost Drivers and Regulatory Factors. Using frameworks like SWOT and Porter’s 5 Forces, you’ll gain deeper insights into each category, driving smarter decision-making.
With the add-on, you can engage stakeholders, align expectations, and define key business needs. It helps turn these targets and insights into clear strategies, ensuring that all efforts are focused on strategically achieving your procurement goals.
The add-on allows you to leverage strategic insights to analyze and identify the levers that drive category performance. This helps build a category strategy that enhances competitive advantage.
The add-on simplifies the formulation of category strategies with clear directions and actionable initiatives. It streamlines workflows for management sign-off, strategic cycle version control, and initiative management, ensuring continuous alignment and easy reviews.
