Case Study: Brakes achieves stronger procurement insight and cost savings with Mintec

Mintec data has helped Brakes get a reliable, independent view of the market to inform their conversations with suppliers, sales teams and customers

Brakes, a leading supplier to the foodservice sector, needed a better way to understand its procurement position in a highly volatile food commodity market. To help respond to market volatility and strengthen buying decisions, Brakes worked with Mintec and used the BMPI (Brakes Mintec Price Index) concept, supported by Mintec’s procurement and category data platform.

Mintec delivered a reliable, independent market view and created more than 700 product cost models for Brakes, giving procurement teams greater credibility and confidence with stakeholders. The result was improved efficiency, stronger strategic decision-making, and market-relevant pricing that helped Brakes communicate price moves more clearly to customers.
