Typical Savings Categories

Common categories for savings  divide broadly into two areas:- overheads, and 'direct' or resale goods which include bought in goods, factory inputs, and ingredients.

ANY category, apart from branded goods where there is only one source of supply, can benefit from the addition of a reverse auction.


1.GOODS FOR RESALE / RAW MATERIALS / FACTORY INPUT / PACKAGING MATERIALS

A  list for categories in this section is too numerous to list because it  depends on what product your business sells or produces, and the raw material or inputs that you procure as components thereto.

Please contact us to discuss your own requirements.
