CATEGORY REVIEW PROCESS

Being considered for independent pharmacy planogram placement

Wholesalers and retailers rely on HRG’s data-driven IN.store Category Management Tools — including planograms — to guide better-informed decisions regarding their assortments. HRG category and product analysts proactively collect information from manufacturers about their current and new-to-market products to forecast which items are poised for success in independent pharmacy.

Our impartial team of analysts performs a thorough review of 24 HBW categories according to our annual schedule.
Once manufacturer product information is received, it is compiled, combined with category sales data, and objectively analyzed.
Analysts develop their strategy and recommendations for each category utilizing the most up-to-date information available.

Distributors and retailers rely on these strategies and recommendations to ensure they are stocking items that have the best chance for success in the independent pharmacy channel.

There is no “pay-to-play” here. The analysts make completely independent, objective planogram decisions.

If you are a manufacturer who received an email or call from one of our analysts asking for information about your product, a price list, or the product itself, it’s to ensure we have the most up-to-date and accurate product information in our database, so please respond in the requested timeframe.
