    Buyers Edge Platform is Built on ‘Doing it Differently’

    Where it All Started
    As an upstart Supply Chain Network in Rochester, NY in 1998, "Dining Alliance" sought to disrupt the restaurant industry in favor of operator success, transparent pricing, and trusting vendor relationships.
    The Largest Procurement Network in the Industry
    20+ years later, Buyers Edge Platform is the largest Digital Procurement Network in the industry with billions in buying power across restaurants, healthcare, casinos, hospitality, higher education, institutions, and entertainment
    Exponential Growth
    Our exponential growth is rooted in a commitment to rejecting the stodgy old ways that foodservice industry have historically been run. Any time we heard a complaint about ourselves or our competitors, we turned that into an opportunity to improve our offerings
    We are Risk Takers
    Risk-taking is in our blood. We developed software that took on the industry's scariest technology and data challenges. We founded and acquired companies when others would have held their positions - all in the name of adding foodservice value and steering the industry in a progressive direction.

    We made a decision to become a strategic partner with Buyers Edge Platform as the business developed over the years. We are moving in the same direction in terms of business alignment when you look at it from a segment perspective. Theres a lot things that we are doing in tandem that it makes perfect sense for us to become partners.
