Data from information systems is used by various departments and people from different areas.  This creates a need to be able to classify or categorize data in several ways in order to:

• Have purchase costs that belong together in one commodity.
• Present complementary and related products together in one product group.
• Be able to group together customers with a particular profile.

Quick analyses create a competitive advantage, partly because of good decisions and actions by employees, based on better and unambiguous insights.

Points of focus

Because data can be divided into several groups, choosing or creating a classification is very important.  The classification must be connected to the current and future information requirements.

Particularly for financial or product data, most tools do not offer adequate solutions, because they only support a standard classification (UN/SPSC).

Our solution

Calago delivers a classification process that is easy to use and supports both standard and customer-specific classifications. The solution is to configure flexibly so that changed insights are easy to incorporate during a classification project.
Extra categories can be added or removed.


The solution operates according to the so-called multi-classification principle, where items can be classified in multiple categories.
The classification system is a basis for good analysis, which, for example, can make purchasing trends visible so that they can be anticipated.
Classifying can be done completely automatically or in combination with validation by an expert. Calago delivers a classification process that is easy to use and works from day one.
