CATEGORY ALLIANCE PROGRAM UPDATE Ritchies Category Alliance Program continues to be a leading focus for Ritchies Head Office Category Team with success shown to participants across the total performance and striving to achieve Independents Best in Class Planograms.
Our program design was to offer Suppliers a commitment to: • Speed to Market for NPD and Deletions • Compliance of Head Office issued Plans at Stores • Category focused Planning • Sales and Profit driven opportunities • Store capture for footage for each Category • Digital function of Category Management stored within our Head Office
Congratulations to our team of Suppliers who continue to support Ritchies Business and our Category Alliance Program. We aim to seize every opportunity marketed to us. Having our Partners work closely with us every step of the way has been a foundation for our success, keeping ahead of grocery trends. Each category faces its own challenges and we have flexed and updated as needed across the changing landscape. The process to keep the Categories current is massive and requires consistent monitoring and close partnerships across all Grocery/Dairy/Freezer/Non Edible departments. Ritchies and the Category Alliance Program have forged a united front to keep the stores up to date - Innovation is embraced, Core Range is supported, Stock levels are maintained and Customers can navigate with ease. Please contact me to discuss your Categories and Category Alliance Program opportunities. Subscriptions are Quarterly, 6 monthly or yearly. Committed suppliers can engage in long term projects and we are happy to discuss any tailored model that suits your Business. Regards Belinda Ives | 0417 600 466
