Eight verticals. 44 divisions. 336 categories.
Procurement expertise is category expertise. Each DealBox vertical carries its own supplier base, category taxonomy, compliance requirements, and cost drivers.
The ecosystem, to scale
Bar length shows mapped categories per vertical. Breadth is coverage, not a ranking — the smallest vertical here still spans 38 categories.
Where your categories already sit
Each vertical opens into its operating divisions, the cost patterns specific to it, and the full category map. Where your business spans more than one, the categories are managed together under a single account.
Food, Beverage & Hospitality
Capital equipment tied to an opening date, and operating categories that quietly erode margin.
Home Services
Repeat consumables bought at counter pricing, and equipment replaced only when it fails.
Construction & Industrial
Margin is decided at buyout, under time pressure, against a moving commodity market.
Retail & Consumer Goods
Two procurement tracks at once: what you sell, and everything you need to sell it.
Healthcare
Compliance that cannot be traded away, and a distributor basket nobody has ever tested.
Automotive
High-frequency parts and chemical spend that almost never gets aggregated.
Education
Catalogue pricing accepted as market pricing, inside a compressed summer buying window.
Corporate Procurement
Indirect spend that belongs to everyone and is owned by no one.
Why a multi-vertical practice buys better
Operating eight verticals in one practice is not breadth for its own sake. It is what lets a category strategy inherit lessons from adjacent markets.
Shared category structures
Packaging, chemicals, furniture, IT hardware, MRO consumables, and safety equipment recur across every vertical. Volume and market knowledge in one industry directly strengthen the position in another.
Supplier transfer
A qualified manufacturer serving food equipment frequently serves healthcare and education. One qualification, multiple markets, faster time to a competitive field.
Whole-client coverage
A restaurant group building a location needs construction materials, kitchen equipment, FF&E, packaging, uniforms, IT, and cleaning supply. One partner covers the entire opening rather than six.
Cost driver insight
Resin, steel, freight, and labour move across all verticals simultaneously. Watching them in eight markets produces earlier and more accurate signals than watching them in one.
