It<br>refers to the systematic bundling of similar materials, products or<br>services into logical &#8220;product groups&#8221;.

The manual classification of thousands of items is not only extremely time-consuming, but also error-prone and inconsistent. Different departments often use different logics, which leads to a fragmented and unreliable database. Strategic analyses, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ABC-Analyse\">ABC analysis<\/a> for prioritizing product groups, thus become a Herculean task.   <\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Risikomanagement\">Risk management<\/a> is even more critical. How should buyers assess the impact of a <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Politisches_Risiko\">geopolitical conflict<\/a>, such as a war in Iran, on their specific product groups? Which articles and suppliers are affected if an important logistics hub fails? Without an intelligent linking of external risk data with the internal product group structure, purchasing remains flying blind as far as product group management is concerned. There is no proactive warning, no red traffic light that lights up immediately when a risk arises for a strategically important product group. Companies only react instead of acting with foresight, putting their ability to deliver and profitability at risk.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b54aeb4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b54aeb4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caea3d1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"caea3d1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caf987a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"caf987a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The solution: Intelligent classification and proactive risk management\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c48e359 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c48e359\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our AI-supported software for category management addresses precisely these critical points.
