Capella - Built on the world renowned 5i® Category Management method

Senior Procurement Manager

Sustainable Tech organization

Capella is simple to use and does what it says. It guides my entire team towards a series of sourcing options for an area of spend, helping us decide which one is most suited to our situation. I can then output a category strategy for the leadership team to approve and make happen. I love how this tool has challenged us by leading us somewhere unexpected - stopping us taking the easy way out!

Category Buyer

Telecommunications organization

As a fairly new category manager, Capella has been invaluable in giving me confidence in developing my category management strategy. I am learning and doing at the same time, and have even started using ‘Advanced Practitioner’ mode to work the tools myself.

This tool is a game changer! Finally, a solution that overcomes the age-old problem of driving meaningful benefits through category management. Capella removes the possibility of my team presenting months of work in a lengthy powerpoint presentation and an underwhelming category strategy.
