The buying group says it has recognised the importance of suppliers being able to track the journey their products take on their route to market and understands that providing wholesale sales data alone may not fully meet the needs of data-focused suppliers. As such Sugro members have collaborated with Central Office to categorise core customer types within its cost sector, hospitality, and retail, offering detailed insights.
By identifying nine distinct customer types including retail outlets, forecourts, On Trade establishments, and Café/QSR businesses, Sugro Insight Service will enable suppliers to delve into category and product performance specific to each customer segment.
Yulia Petitt, head of commercial & narketing at Sugro UK, said: “We are thrilled to share this news of the enhancements we have made to the Sugro Insight Service since its introduction back in October last year. As the platform progresses, we are confident that the value of the data provided to our members and suppliers will only grow stronger.”
