For a leading auto aftermarket retailer, CMKG improved both process and team capability in assortment optimization. The organization needed a cleaner, more efficient PLR process, along with a stronger, shared understanding of assortment strategy, best practices, and analytics across teams.

Using the retailer’s own data, real examples, and hands-on case work, CMKG streamlined the PLR process and built practical, day-to-day skills. The results were strong enough that the client expanded the partnership into broader training across the organization, including category management foundations, standardized templates, analytics, and category reviews.

"Thank you, Team! Really appreciate your efforts in getting us to a consistent, simplified, and speedier end to end process. Not only will we be able to operate off of a common playbook, this body of work has also influenced our thinking about the training, tools and reports needed to support the process. "
