Manufacturers are finding that they have blind spots in their data for key ingredients and flavourings such as vanilla. These ingredients often represent significant spends to the business, and negotiating the best price based on current market conditions is essential.

A lack of price visibility for these key ingredients restricts their ability to benchmark these market prices to actual supplier prices, preventing cost saving opportunities from being identified. Potentially resulting in higher costs and increased competitive risk.

Ultimately, restricting the companies’ ability to adapt its buying strategy and buyers to negotiate effectively with suppliers.
