MPower, iTrade Insights, and NPC’s Produce Manager all offer these benefits with various specialty areas.
Streamline Purchasing Across Locations
The most air-tight purchasing plan is only effective when your locations follow it. That means guiding purchasing across multiple stakeholders, regions, and even concepts.
Technology platforms like MyOrders and OneSource allow Foodbuy Members to streamline their buying to save more money and strengthen brand standards in the ways that consumers remember.
Explore Our Technology Portfolio
Your procurement and data needs aren’t the same as everyone else’s. A one-size-fits-all approach won’t do. That’s why Foodbuy offers several innovative technology solutions to serve every Member’s specific needs.

MPower: A Data Analytics Platform
Making informed business decisions is easier when you have access to relevant data. That’s why Foodbuy offers Members access to MPower. MPower is a data analytics platform that connects you with easy-to-access insights about your spend and savings opportunities.
Intuitive and customizable, MPower allows you to use real-time data more effectively, making your business better.
OneSource: Procure-to-Pay Your Way
OneSource is a cloud-based procure-to-pay platform that consolidates purchasing for better visibility into spend and more efficient workflows. That means, you can access real-time optimization at time of purchase.
Plus, OneSource has a wide range of integrations to your account payable system and beyond.
iTrade Insights: Foodservice-Specific Data
Take your use of MPower a step further by signing on for iTrade Insights. This platform is custom-made for the foodservice channel and allows you to aggregate invoices, measure LTO inventory, and securely maintain contract information.
All within the MPower platform for streamlined data management.
MyOrders: Your Order Guide Solution
Aligning multiple locations and teams on product and service ordering can be difficult. MyOrders makes it easier by serving as an order guide and contract compliance platform.
You can encourage your location teams to purchase on contract and gain insights to when they don’t.
NPC Produce Cost Management System
Managing multiple regional and local produce programs can be a big lift for your procurement department. That’s why NPC Powered by Foodbuy offers a unique technology solution for managing produce orders, pricing, and manufacturer contracts.
Features include custom-built order guides provided by the NPC team, proposed-value trackers, and quarterly reports on commodity pricing.
NPC Online Ordering System
NPC’s Online Ordering Systems (OES) serves as a single point of entry for growers, shippers, and clients to access nationwide data on a nearly real-time basis.
Available to all NPC Powered by Foodbuy Members, this portal captures all invoice data thanks to integration with distributor partners. Ordering, invoices, and transactional data are all easily available, with price verification happening in real time.
When various departments work together, your business operates like a well-oiled machine. Foodbuy’s technology ecosystem faciltates synergies across roles and locations. While your national procurement lead manages data through MPower, your regional manager can place procurement orders through OneSource. Meanwhile, location chefs can align with national menuing through MyOrders. But don’t let this example limit you — each of these tools can be used across roles, depending on your business’s needs.
