Addressable Market
Kathmandu’s wide appeal and technical credibility increases the size of its addressable market
•
•
Kathmandu divides the clothing and equipment
for travel and adventure market into three
categories:
–
Specialist - highly technical products
–
Mainstream/lifestyle - some of the technical
characteristics of specialist products
–
General merchandise retailers - targeting the
price sensitive consumer
With affordable, technical products, Kathmandu
competes in all three categories, recognising its
view that the mass market represents a
significant financial opportunity where buyers
will pay for technical credibility

Deliver Operational Efficiencies – Supply Chain Example
•
95%+ of stock currently passes through Melbourne and
Christchurch warehouses
•
Bulk deliveries currently received from suppliers in
numerous categories where effective demand forecasting
will reduce order sizes and stock holding
•
Last year was first time where we trialled stock deliveries
direct to stores through 3rd party warehouse (Auckland)
•
Very little custom packing of stock at source
•
No “smarts” in picking systems and technology in our
warehouses
•
Distribution of stock to stores intelligently around sales
promotions requires high degree of manual intervention
