Process
From first upload to signed contract in about six weeks.
Every review follows the same rigorous process. You do the parts only you can do — decide what to buy and from whom — and we do everything else.
- 01
Register your business
Create an account and complete a short business profile: sites, cuisine, delivery days, storage, current suppliers, payment terms and the contract length you're willing to commit to. Takes about five minutes.
- 02
Upload recent purchasing
Drag and drop 2–3 months of invoices — PDF, Excel, CSV or photo. We extract every line and roll it up into a category and full-basket view.
- 03
Data review with our team
We categorise every product, spot anomalies, and produce a category-by-category cost breakdown. If you opt in to the peer benchmark network, you also see how your rates compare to other UK operators.
- 04
Tender preparation
We build a category basket (or a single consolidated basket) from your actual purchasing. You approve the scope, the contract term and any brand or own-label preferences. Terms are flexible — minimum 1 year, average 3 years — and longer commitments often attract better offers.
- 05
Supplier pricing
UK nationals — Brakes, Bidfood and similar — regional wholesalers, category specialists and your incumbents submit prices, lead times and payment terms through our supplier portal.
- 06
Evaluation & award
We produce a side-by-side comparison and an award recommendation. You choose the winner. Contract signed at the term you agreed. Implementation supported.
- 07
Ongoing tracking
Keep uploading invoices. Your savings are tracked against the benchmark, and — if you're in the network — your position versus peers evolves as more data comes in.
