The Criterion Supply Solutions Value Proposition.

Criterion Supply Solutions is a procurement service group dedicated to helping clients reduce their costs through procurement, strategic sourcing, and value engineering efforts.

When a buyer is charged with managing strategic sourcing duties, in addition to tactical and replenishment purchasing needs, it comes with little surprise that the majority of their time ends up being “spent” on reacting to important near-term tactical needs with the good intention of eventually finding time later for strategic sourcing duties.

Even worse, the “all consumed” Buyer will frequently offload “less visible” spend categories to plant and office employees, squandering company benefits such as specialized buyer skills, business controls, and consolidated purchasing power across the Corporation.

That’s where we come in! With our market knowledge and should cost modeling, we keenly identify savings opportunities that can make a difference in your bottom line.

Time is money, so we strive to save you both!

We can help you Capture Savings and Save Time all with ZERO risk.

Criterion Supply Solutions offers a No Cost Spend Assessment. If you don’t see any savings through our strategic sourcing process, we don’t get paid. Our goal is to provide you with ACTUAL savings, not an ON PAPER savings. Better yet, you choose your supply scenarios and savings.

Packaging

We look at material specifications, volumes, order quantities, packaging style, printing requirements, freight, and warehousing to acquire the right price for what you need.

Indirect MRO Spend

We offer a comprehensive MRO solution that leverages collaborative buying and provides focused solutions, and quick savings wins with no minimum volume commitments.

Ingredients

We analyze price and production trends as well as overall supply and demand on a vast array of ingredients and commodities to ensure you are getting the best price possible every single time.
