Cureate (read 'cure-ate') takes a socially-conscious, market-based approach to developing local procurement programs that better serve our communities. Together we create change and #shiftthedollar back into our local communities, which we track and report through ongoing impact assessments.
Cureate is a single point of contact that provides a gateway to hundreds of local businesses through Cureate Connect, our proprietary procurement platform. As the prime contract holder, we ensure a smooth purchasing process so you can focus on the other aspects of your business. This means our Buyer partners only have to place orders and pay one account (us!) while having access to a robust small business Vendor network.
As your prime supplier, Cureate manages all of your vendor contracts, so you'll receive only one Purchase Order, for all orders placed — rather than managing each vendor individually and paying each separately.Access to extensive local and regional food & beverage small business databaseBrowse vendors by product details, growth stage, certifications & moreUpload Requests & receive proposals in response to your procurement needsWeekly check-ins to discuss your ongoing order needs and procurement goalsResponsiveness and reliable communicationFood & beverage industry tips on marketing and merchandising your space to drive salesTrack success stories to share with your team and stakeholdersAll of the perks of the Connect plan; andDemand Planning: our team will proactively search for your needs and build a pipeline of suppliers for your operationAssistance with preparation and management of your Requests, maintaining quality standards for initiatives like sustainability and supplier diversityMarketing and merchandising support to help inform customers about the local vendors and products that you sellOngoing internal and external marketing/PR campaigns to tell the story of your work to #shiftthedollar back into our local communitiesTeams of more than 10?
