BACKGROUND
This Boston-based company has grown from a small market stall into a dedicated manufacturing facility producing soups, sauces, and gourmet frozen items.
Known for its commitment to handmade, small-batch cooking, the company prides itself on using fresh, high-quality ingredients to maintain its reputation for exceptional taste and quality.
the challenge
Having built a successful supply chain in New England, the client recognized the risks of relying on a limited supplier base, including cost vulnerability, restricted scalability, and exposure to market fluctuations. The company saw untapped opportunities for savings and growth by expanding sourcing beyond the region but needed a structured, data-driven procurement approach to realise this potential.
SOLUTION
To address these challenges, the food manufacturer partnered with Procure4’s industry experts, taking a strategic, data-led approach to procurement transformation.
- Mapped current state and developed strategies for transformation to a future state
- Created a baseline spend document to measure cost reduction impacts
- Conducted national and international market assessments to identify improved sourcing options
- Ran RFPs, negotiated with suppliers, and delivered optimized category packs
- Provided enhanced P4 procurement tools for sourcing and price management to lock in savings
