Case in Point: When the supplier calls because you timed your buys too well

A premium ice cream brand refused to compromise on creaminess - even as dairy, cocoa and sugar costs soared. With Expana, their procurement team:

  • Anticipated price shifts in dairy, cocoa, and sugar with forecast data
  • Timed purchases precisely, securing ingredients before costs spiked
  • Negotiated with confidence using on-the-ground market insights
  • Protected margins by finding efficiencies without cutting quality

The result? Significant savings, stronger supplier relationships, and recognition across the business. Their performance was so sharp that a supplier called to ask how they managed to time their buys so perfectly.
