Think about your last supplier negotiation. Which scenario reflects yours?

I reviewed a supplier's price increase with no
independent data to verify their market claims

I confidently evaluated the supplier quote against real-time, independent market benchmarks for your my ingredients

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

Without reliable, real-time benchmarks for essential food commodities procurement teams frequently struggle with:

Unverified supplier quotes

How can you confidently assess if your supplier's offer for niche ingredients truly reflects the current market?

Reduced negotiation power

Countering supplier claims or securing better terms can be challenging without concrete, unbiased market data to support your position.

Reactive purchasing decisions

Outdated reports and supplier-filtered information leave you playing catch-up in volatile markets instead of seizing opportunities.

Margin erosion

Market volatility directly impacts your bottom line. Negotiating without clear insights is a significant financial risk.
