tootegrupi

Tootegrupi is an Estonian term used in retail, manufacturing, and logistics to describe a defined set of products that share common characteristics. It functions as a way to classify and group items for easier catalog management, pricing, promotions, inventory control, and reporting. The concept is widely used in enterprise resource planning (ERP) and product information management (PIM) systems.

A product group typically aggregates several stock-keeping units (SKUs) that are related by function, target audience, brand, or price segment. It sits below a higher-level category (tootekategooria) in a hierarchical data structure and can encompass variations of the same product family, such as different models, sizes, colors, or configurations. Defining product groups helps organizations apply consistent rules for pricing, discounts, and promotions across related items and enables more coherent analytics and decision-making.

Formation and governance of product groups are usually driven by business needs and data standards. Teams from merchandising, marketing, and IT collaborate to determine criteria for grouping, maintain the definitions, and ensure alignment with catalog schemas and reporting requirements. In practice, product groups facilitate assortment planning, cross-selling, and performance analysis by providing a stable, aggregated view of related products.

Related concepts include product category, product family, SKU, and catalog management. The term tootegrupi highlights the importance of structured product data in efficient retail and supply chain operations.
