Product Ranging and Shelf Management
The PAK'nSAVE Group operates with a core range of everyday
products. All new products must be presented to the Foodstuffs
South Island Category Team who then participate in a ranging
committee to review new products and existing product ranges. On
acceptance of a new product it is a requirement that the Vendor
contact each of the PAK'nSAVE supermarkets to present the new
product who will then manage the stock order and shelf
placement.
All new product ranging is reviewed after thirteen weeks
The PAK'nSAVE Group requests that all products are supported
with promotional activity to motivate customer purchasing.
All Vendor-developed planograms must be channelled through
the Category Services Manager for approval. There are
strict in-house criteria for shelf layouts, which must be supported
by all suppliers.
