The Challenge

Jeff Phillips from HBG Purchasing Solution was looking for a way to simplify rebate management and enhance profitability for their foodservice operators. The goal was to streamline product sourcing while providing operators with an effortless way to receive rebates on the products they were already purchasing—without complicating day-to-day operations.

The Solution

HBG Purchasing Solution partnered with Consolidated Concepts and leveraged the Buyers Edge Platform to address these needs. The InsideTrack software became an essential tool for Jeff Phillips and his team, helping them efficiently source new products and identify cost-saving opportunities. The ease of managing rebates—referred to as “mailbox money” by the team—meant that operators received checks every quarter just by buying their usual products. The personalized support from the Consolidated Concepts team further strengthened the partnership, making it easy to maximize the platform’s benefits.

We call it ‘mailbox money’ because the operators just buy their normal products and once a quarter, they get a check. If you are in the foodservice business and you are not associated with the Buyers Edge Platform, you are missing the boat.
