Our Origin Story

We have a lifelong obsession with the power of data.

Humble Beginnings

Our story starts in 1998 with 45 independent restaurants in Rochester, NY. We grouped those restaurants together and helped them reduce their Pepsi costs.

The Hub

We moved operations to Boston, where we built our first “hub city.” Restaurants throughout greater Boston benefited from our extensive network of distributor and manufacturer partnerships.

Exponential Growth

Our network spread like crazy — as networks do. By 2012, we had operators in all 50 states buying on our GPO contracts and taking advantage of our data and expertise.

Manufacturer Partnerships

Buyers Edge Platform stood out in the world of group purchasing — offering unprecedented data visibility, purchasing transparency, and marketing opportunities. The biggest — and smartest — suppliers in foodservice took notice and lined up to establish partnerships.

Owning the Tech Procurement Market

We leaned hard into our technology to establish our advantage in the market. We built and acquired the best software in the industry to help our clients and partners access the data and insights they need to boost their profitability.

Environmental Responsibility:

Buyers Edge Platform sets science-based targets and pledges carbon neutrality

In 2021, we pledged to set greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative. Buyers Edge Platform has become a carbon neutral company as of 2020 and pledges Net Zero emissions by 2040, as part of our ambitious climate strategy.

We continue to purchase sufficient carbon offsets to maintain carbon neutrality each year through a mix of renewable energy purchases, emission reductions and offsets. We will continue to evaluate our emissions and track progress toward our long-term goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2040 across our operations and value chain.
