Common Problems
Fluctuating Food Prices

Disruptions from transportation issues and supplier shortages cause delays and shortages of essential items.

What Our Clients Say
Pandion helps foodservice providers save costs, access better pricing, discover new vendors, and streamline operations, ensuring quality and compliance while fostering valuable industry connections.
The University at Buffalo saw a noticeable decrease in food costs after just one year with Premier. In addition to the product cost savings, we’ve been able to reduce the amount of time we spend negotiating with suppliers by accessing CMA’s. My only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner.
- Jeff Brady
University at Buffalo
Being part of Pandion for many years has given me the opportunity to meet many colleagues. It has opened my eyes to new vendors, given me best pricing in many products/services, and been a way to share best practices. Most recently meeting a Director who is in a very similar role as me has really opened up exciting dialogue. We likely would not have met if it weren’t for being at a committee meeting.
We highly recommend and vouch for Pandion. We’ve partnered with them to provide our members with access to better pricing on goods and services that offer superior quality and still allow compliance with brand requirements We are confident they will continue to assist our members by helping them to manage their bottom line, control inventory and more.
I can't say enough great things about my experience so far with Pandion Optimization Alliance! WPV Inc. has already experienced significant savings, and we've only been on board for a month.
