Buyers Edge Platform Expands European Presence with New Acquisition

Buyers Edge Platform, a key player in providing advanced software and analytics solutions for the foodservice industry, has recently expanded its footprint in Europe by acquiring MMC, a renowned procurement service provider based in Switzerland. This acquisition is a part of Buyers Edge's strategic efforts to establish a robust Digital Procurement Network across Europe, building on their successful trajectory in the US.

The acquisition comes after a series of strategic purchases made by Buyers Edge in the past year, which included companies such as The Full Range, Delta Procurement, MPP in the UK, SF-Gruppe in Germany, Parsly in Sweden, and Hoscat in the Netherlands. These moves indicate an aggressive growth strategy focusing on leveraging technology to enhance the procurement processes within the foodservice sector.

According to John Davie, CEO of Buyers Edge Platform, this partnership with MMC opens a significant opportunity for the company to penetrate the Swiss market, as they share a common vision for customer service excellence. He stated, "MMC provides Buyers Edge with an entry point into the Swiss market through a company that shares our values and customer-focused approach." This synergy positions both companies to better serve their clients and drive innovation in procurement processes.

Yann Meuterlos, the CEO of MMC, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, highlighting their shared commitment to putting customers first. He noted, "Combining our Swiss market knowledge with Buyers Edge Platform's technology and buying power will create the perfect environment to help our customers thrive." With MMC's established expertise in the luxury hotel sector and an extensive network, this acquisition is expected to enhance Buyers Edge's offerings significantly.

In addition, Daniel Wilson, President of Buyers Edge Platform Europe, emphasized the importance of MMC’s knowledge of the luxury hotel market, which is invaluable for expanding their services in the region. He looks forward to supporting MMC in becoming the leading Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) across Switzerland.
