Abstract
Despite the crisis in the domestic economy, the reduction in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises, it is impossible not to notice the growing level of competition between different manufacturers. According to many experts, the rate of growth in the supply of goods today exceeds the growth of the population’s welfare, and the margin of financial strength of most suppliers does not allow an adequate reduction in output, which provokes them to pursue an aggressive sales policy. Aggressive promotion of non-competitive products carries risks not only for the supplier, but also for the retailer. Offering customers products that do not have consumer value is a strategic mistake of any retailer, which is a significant risk to its economic security. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for determining the competitiveness of a retailer’s suppliers based on the full range of information available from external and internal, accounting and non-accounting sources. The main methods used in the study were analysis, abstraction, modeling, and induction. The result of the study is to obtain a methodology that has a possibility of digitalization and implementation as a software product within the overall management system of the retailer’s purchasing activity.
