Leading food manufacturer uses The Smart Cube’s Category Intelligence solution to reduce supplier costs

A leading food manufacturer was paying high prices for coconut oil from its sole supplier and sought low-cost, organic alternatives. They engaged The Smart Cube to use its Category Intelligence solution to identify verified organic producers across three key producing nations.

The Smart Cube implemented a strategy combining primary and secondary research to validate supplier claims and accreditations. This resulted in a comprehensive assessment of over fifty producers and a list of nine recommended suppliers. After contracting with one, the client achieved a category cost saving of 8%.
