Case Study: University of Wisconsin–Madison achieves better pricing and greater flexibility with OMNIA Partners

University of Wisconsin–Madison saves on $16 million in food purchases with Omnia Partners

The University of Wisconsin–Madison, a large university with a complex dining operation, had hesitations about cooperative purchasing for its food services. Internal stakeholders were concerned that partnering with a cooperative would limit flexibility and their ability to meet unique campus needs. The university partnered with OMNIA Partners to overcome these challenges.

By implementing a cooperative purchasing solution from OMNIA Partners, the university gained access to better pricing through large-scale buying power without sacrificing control. The results included stronger distributor relationships, increased purchasing standardization, and the ability to engage in higher-level strategic conversations with suppliers. OMNIA Partners provided the leverage for smarter purchasing while preserving the program's essential flexibility.
