Wendy’s Quality Supply Chain Co-op, Inc. Leverages BuyerQuest’s Procure-to-Pay Solution to Manage Restaurant Spend

Latest deployment highlights how BuyerQuest helps clients effectively manage decentralized indirect spend

CLEVELAND, Oct. 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BuyerQuest, a leader in cloud-based spend management software, announced today that Wendy’s Quality Supply Chain Cooperative (QSCC) will deploy the BuyerQuest Procure-to-Pay (P2P) solution to Wendy’s restaurants. The BuyerQuest platform will empower Wendy’s franchisees to leverage QSCC’s negotiated supplier contracts within an intuitive, eCommerce shopping environment.

BuyerQuest’s ground-breaking P2P solution will help QSCC create visibility into spend activity across all restaurants while also giving each of Wendy’s franchisees the benefit of QSCC’s leveraged buying power. BuyerQuest’s easy-to-use software enables QSCC’s rapid restaurant adoption strategy and ensures the franchisees can buy and pay for the goods & services required to operate the restaurant.

“After a very thorough evaluation of the enterprise procurement software market, we decided that BuyerQuest was the right procure-to-pay solution for Wendy’s restaurants,” said David Kourie, EVP Procurement. “Our objective at QSCC is to help Wendy’s franchisees be more profitable and more efficient. BuyerQuest is enabling this by positively transforming the procure-to-pay processes for our restaurants while providing measurable value and transparency to our operators.”

This latest customer deployment further solidifies BuyerQuest’s leadership position as the Procure-to-Pay solution of choice for the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry. BuyerQuest QSR customers use BuyerQuest to (1) deliver a wonderful shopping and buying experience for restaurant staff, (2) reduce procurement process friction in the typically fast-paced QSR environment, (3) consolidate non-food related spend on leveraged contracts, and (4) deliver hard and soft cost savings that directly impact restaurant profitability.

“BuyerQuest is extremely proud to partner with QSCC on this important procurement transformation,” said Jack Mulloy, BuyerQuest CEO. “With BuyerQuest, Wendy’s restaurants now have a self-service Procure-to-Settle solution that allows for easy and efficient buying. We look forward to supporting QSCC as they execute their transformation strategies.”
