Regional Supermarket Chain Saves More Than $4M With Managed Sourcing Services Model


PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - November 19, 2015) - Price Chopper Supermarkets, an American-owned, family-managed company since 1932, has renewed its managed sourcing partnership with Intesource, a PROACTIS company, the leading eSourcing services provider for grocers, retailers and restaurants. An Intesource customer since 2006, Price Chopper relies on Intesource's managed sourcing capabilities and suite of tools to improve operational efficiency and uncover substantial savings across the entire supply chain.

"Intesource has been an invaluable procurement partner for ten years now, helping us make informed sourcing decisions throughout every step of the process," said David Golub, senior vice president of ecommerce and government relations at Price Chopper Supermarkets. "Intesource's consultative approach and deep knowledge of the grocery retail industry helps us tackle challenges unique to our organization and consistently capture millions in real dollar savings."

Intesource works with Price Chopper to proactively analyze and find the best suppliers based on quality, service and price. This managed service approach has led to tremendous savings across a variety of categories, including:

"Beyond driving operational efficiency and cutting costs, a strategic approach to sourcing can help the best-performing grocers enhance vendor relationships, increase quality and find new sources of supply," said Brian Miller, vice president of services at Intesource. "By knowing which suppliers, products, services, prices, and contract terms are available, grocery retailers can be better equipped to deliver an experience that resonate with consumers and maximize the value they generate through sourcing."
