Technology and Insights for Every Procurement Challenge
You can’t make smart decisions without good information. Buyers Edge clients use our technology to uncover – and solve – their toughest procurement challenges. Our software turns tasks that used to take days into fast, easy, automated steps on the path to procurement success.
What's your food cost percentage? Load up on your ingredients and recipes and the software handles the rest. Track recipe costs, cost of goods sold, inventory and more to help keep your costs within range.
Cost savings are just a click away. Drive your rebate earnings, enroll in indirect spend savings and let our AI find switch-and-save opportunities that are just right for your operations.
Insights at a glance. Our dashboard makes it clear which categories are having the biggest impact on your spend, where a new contract might offer significant savings and where overcharges are adding unnecessary weight to your costs.
More fresh, less stress. Keep track of the latest FOB prices on the produce items that matter most to you. Plus, view storage and handling guides, and monitor important produce safety, recall and alert announcements.
Compare and be aware. The fickle commodity markets can change with the day – so how do you know if you're paying the right price? Drag and drop your items to compare your purchase prices to the commodity indices for hard-to-reach insights.
