How It Works

As an independent, pro-active Cost Avoidance Program, we don’t buy or sell produce; we manage and monitor your entire produce purchasing program bringing clarity, fairness, and accountability to every dollar you spend. We sit on your side of the table, ensuring your operation avoids unnecessary costs while securing consistent quality and reliable service without adding more work to your internal team.

Our role includes:

  • Weekly cost monitoring based on true landed cost

  • Pricing verification against market data and supplier submissions

  • Invoice auditing tied to purchase & order guides

  • Supplier communication & issue resolution on your behalf

  • Clear visibility into spend, performance, and opportunities to avoid unnecessary cost

Because we do not profit from your purchases, every recommendation we make is focused on your best interest—not on pushing product.

Certified Supplier Program

Pic Rite independently evaluates every distributor before they enter our Distributor Network.

Our review includes:

  • Four-page supplier questionnaire (business model & capabilities)

  • HACCP documentation

  • GAP certification

  • Liability insurance certificate

  • Employee training program details

  • Annual outside inspection agency report

  • Pest-control program overview

  • Annual reinspection with photographs

This program allows us to maintain trusted suppliers in every market we serve—and in many markets, multiple suppliers to maintain weekly competitive pressure.

  • Simplified communication with a single point of contact

  • Consistency across every location in your system

  • Confidence in pricing, quality, and service every week
