The industry's most independent FE&S buying group.
Better programs. Real results. Without the complexity. One partnership replaces 400+ individual vendor relationships, without changing who you are.
Four ways your margin works harder
inside Strata.
Most buying groups negotiate pricing. We built the infrastructure that turns collective scale into individual advantage on every quote.
Enhanced Margin
Pricing tiers usually reserved for the biggest national accounts. Margin you can reinvest in your team, your space, your customers.
Amplified Marketing
Marketing assets branded to your dealership. Co-op dollars from preferred vendors. Quotes go out faster, with the polish your customers expect.
Rebate Reconciliation
SKU-level data capture. Bi-weekly payments, fastest in the market. Every dollar audited by a dedicated rebate team.
Dedicated Sales
A full-time inside sales team that works for you, not a call center. Identifying growth opportunities and recovering revenue across your accounts.
Hundreds of millions in combined buying power.
The leverage of the biggest names in foodservice. Without changing who you are.
Not a buying group hoping to survive.
Built to lead the market.
Decisions in days, not quarters.
No board cycles. No public-market optics. Program changes reach dealers in days, not next fiscal year.
Funded by PE. Not by your rebates.
Capital investments are funded 100% by PE ownership, not members nor their rebate dollars. Every tool we ship is built in-house, with zero member dollars at risk.
100% indemnification.
Strata absorbs the financial risk of its own technology investment and strategic initiatives, not its members. We invest like thought partners who understand the dealer's day.
Innovation accelerated.
AI tools, platform growth, and infrastructure expansion are accelerated at Strata due to PE sponsorship. Co-ops rely on licensed technology partners they cannot control or change at the speed the market demands.
Not all buying groups
are created equal.
