✦ Case Study · Grupo Buen Rollo

Five brands. One purchasing brain.

Guatemala's largest restaurant group — El Pinche, Skillets, La Monumental, Mucha Brasa, and Go Green — buying on five separate gut feelings. Now buying off one live number.

The Problem

Five brands, one blind spot.

Grupo Buen Rollo runs five restaurant brands — El Pinche, Skillets, La Monumental, Mucha Brasa, and Go Green — buying ingredients from overlapping suppliers, often for the exact same product, at prices nobody was comparing. Years of duplicate SKUs and inconsistent units meant the purchasing catalog had no single source of truth.

Leadership knew money was leaking between brands and locations. They just didn't have the data to prove where, or how much.

The Build

A live purchasing engine, wired into their own ERP.

Full purchasing catalog cleaned and deduplicated — over 17,000 SKUs audited across all five brands
Automated savings-diagnostic engine comparing what every brand pays for the same ingredient, supplier by supplier
Live price-radar dashboard surfacing the biggest cross-brand price gaps, refreshed every night
Direct read/write integration into GBR's existing Odoo ERP — no new system for the team to learn
Weekly automated cleaning and verification loop that keeps the catalog accurate without manual audits
Automated monthly reports and escalation alerts delivered straight to the operations team

The Result

Q900,000+ in savings identified, every year.

Within weeks of going live, the purchasing engine had already surfaced more than Q900,000 a year in capturable savings — concentrated in exactly the overlaps leadership suspected but never had the data to prove. Every brand now buys off the same live picture, refreshed automatically every night, with zero extra work for the team.
