Restaurant Solutions

In today’s challenging business environment, Hospitality Food and Beverage Management is constantly called upon to do more with less. Managing Spend dollars for maximum advantage for their enterprise requires timely, accurate and highly-visible Spend intelligence.

Enter Buyers Edge and its proprietary InsideTrack™ application.  A powerful application to provide you with business intelligence to most effectively manage your purchasing operations.  Focus more of your time on managing your business and less time on gathering the information you need to make your best business decisions.

InsideTrack™ and the Buyers Edge programs are designed and tested through years of client utilization to be the intelligent solution to meet your needs.
Buyers Edge management has a breadth and depth of Foodservice Management experience which has gone into the development and implementation of three areas of application expertise, Rebate Procurement and Processing, Contract Management, and Electronic Invoice Auditing.

Rebate Procurement and Processing has been designed to support any type of Rebate, Growth or  Deviated Pricing plan that exists in Foodservice today.  Rest assured that you can negotiate the optimum arrangement with manufacturers, and Buyers Edge will be able to track your purchases and collect all the rebate dollars that are due to you.

Contract Management will support any type of pricing arrangement that you negotiate with your Manufacturer or Distributor partners, including but not limited to fixed price, cost plus, tiered pricing, layered pricing, regional pricing and  location specific pricing.  We manage the enforcement of the contract with the Manufacturers and Distributors.  We also will manage the expiration dates on the contracts to ensure timely renewal to make sure your agreements do not lapse, resulting in wasted spend dollars.

Electronic Invoice Auditing is done on whatever cycle you specify your trading partners to transmit their data to us.  We have multiple clients currently where we audit their invoices on a daily basis.  They have the information on incorrect pricing the next day.  No more waiting for weeks to find out your pricing problems.  All invoices and every line item are audited by our proprietary application, and discrepancy reports of any price variances are produced immediately.

Buyers Edge also offers Consulting Services on a per engagement basis.  We have experience at reviewing Purchasing organization and
Purchasing processes, and assisting in developing best practices for your organization.  Buyers Edge can also provide independent Purchasing Operational Audit for internal management or as documentation of Sarbanes Oxley compliance.
