Real-time commodity tracking benchmarked directly against your invoice pricing
Most restaurant supply chain teams know commodity markets are moving. Few know exactly how their own contract pricing compares to the market at any given moment. Sightline OS closes that gap — correlating 700+ USDA commodity price indices directly with your invoice data so you can see, at a glance, whether your pricing is favorable, unfavorable, or drifting out of alignment.
Know immediately when your pricing becomes uncorrelated to market trends
Price drift doesn't happen all at once — it compounds slowly, often going undetected until a contract renewal or a budget review surfaces the gap. Sightline OS flags uncorrelated pricing automatically, alerting your team when your contract pricing has moved out of step with the associated commodity's trend. Thresholds are customizable — the default is set at 20% variance, but your team can configure alerts to match your risk tolerance and category priorities.
Price trend analysis that connects the market to your P&L
Commodity market data is only as useful as your ability to connect it to real business impact. Sightline OS gives your team visual dashboards showing favorable and unfavorable market positions across your full ingredient portfolio — making it easy to prioritize attention, prepare for supplier negotiations, and build a clear case for leadership when contract decisions need to be made.
Manage commodity risk, contract pricing, and purchasing intelligence in one platform — built for restaurant supply chain teams.
