Hospitality

Business leaders realise that despite access to multiple data sources, their buyers and category managers are often unable to take advantage of the potential opportunities the insight provides.

The challenge caused by a lack of time and resources limits their ability to integrate and analyse disparate data sources. The result is an incomplete picture where a lack of clarity restricts collaboration, hinders their ability to standardise processes and maximise efficiency savings.

A lack of price visibility and the ability to benchmark market prices to actual supplier prices prevent cost-saving opportunities from being identified. Potentially resulting in higher costs and increased competitive risk. Ultimately, driving up costs for their customers.

Furthermore, the lack of granular raw material price data prevents effective cost modelling from monitoring price volatility's effects on product costs. Ultimately, restricting the companies' ability to adapt its buying strategy and buyers to negotiate effectively with suppliers.
