Case Study: Dot Foods achieves lean, scalable operations and cost savings with Corcentric procurement and finance services

Dot Foods Keeps Operations Lean with Help from Corcentric

Dot Foods, the nation’s largest food industry redistributor serving 4,700 customers and partnered with 1,100 manufacturers across all 50 states and 39 countries, faced the challenge of keeping operations lean and costs down as it scaled. Since 2002 Dot Foods has relied on Corcentric’s procurement and finance services to simplify buying, supplier management, and billing across its growing, multi-location operation.

Corcentric implemented a menu-driven mix of product selection, strategic supplier management, and financial process automation—including a centralized, paperless e-commerce billing and workflow—to drive savings and consistency. As a result, Dot Foods lowered costs on items from tires and retreads to truck parts and supplies, gained stronger negotiating power via Corcentric’s pooled buying resources, achieved consistent purchasing and invoicing across locations, and improved scalability (supporting the addition of a tenth location) through Corcentric’s solutions.
