Focused reading

Category Path Review

A concentrated look at one or two categories: how the face-out is ordered, how filters behave, and whether the path from grid to product still makes sense to a shopper in a hurry.

Who it is for
Teams who already know which category is underperforming and want a close reading rather than a full-catalog study.
What you leave with
A short briefing note on the chosen categories, with a recommended order of changes the merchandiser can take to the next listing refresh.
Scope
One or two categories, including sort defaults, filter chips, and the first three scrolls of the grid.
Who does the work
Tan Wei Ming, with a second reader from the Klang practice.
Time
Five to eight working days.
Where
Remote reading of the app; debrief by video or at the Klang office.
Rates
From RM 4,800 for one category; a second category in the same app is quoted as an add-on.

How the work proceeds

  1. Category lock

    You name the categories and any campaign overlay in force.

  2. Path walk

    We traverse face-out, filter, sort, and the jump into product detail.

  3. Note and debrief

    You receive a written note and a short call.

What we ask you to prepare

Category names, a current screenshot of the face-out, and access to the live listing.

Constraints we will not paper over

Not suitable if the category template is being replaced during the same week.

Next step

Name the category and the commerce app in a note to info@catalogvertexhub.digital.
