Global Fast-Food Chain saves $22M with GEP

A global fast-food chain faced the challenge of aligning its $545 million pork supply base with corporate animal welfare goals, while also consolidating spend and ensuring competitive pricing. They engaged procurement solutions provider GEP to help drive this strategic supplier realignment.

GEP implemented a strategy leveraging market intelligence and should-cost modeling to identify and negotiate with potential suppliers. This allowed the fast-food chain to realign its supplier base with its ethical objectives, strengthen partnerships, and secure competitive pricing. As a result, GEP helped the customer achieve $22 million in savings over three years in this key raw material category, while also advancing its sustainability and supply chain resilience goals.
