Sysco subsidiary adopts DecisionNext platform to enhance procurement, pricing strategy, and finished goods forecasting across key protein markets.
SAN FRANCISCO, California – March 30, 2026 – DecisionNext, the leading AI-driven platform that helps companies make smarter buying and selling decisions in commodity markets, today announced a new partnership with Buckhead Meat & Seafood, a Sysco company and leading supplier of premium proteins to the foodservice industry. Through this collaboration, Buckhead will leverage DecisionNext’s forecasting and decision intelligence platform to enhance procurement timing, pricing strategy, and finished goods forecasting across key protein markets.
In today’s protein markets, strong operators are often required to make high-stakes procurement and pricing decisions without consistent forward visibility, structured frameworks, or measurable feedback loops. DecisionNext addresses this challenge by providing forward-looking forecasts and decision intelligence that help teams understand global supply and demand dynamics, monitor input cost movements, and anticipate future price trends.
“Access to clearer forecasting and cost visibility is incredibly valuable for our teams as we navigate changing protein markets,” said Jeremy Melloan of Buckhead Meat & Seafood. “DecisionNext helps us evaluate opportunities earlier and align our procurement and pricing strategies with where the market is heading.”
Through the DecisionNext platform, Buckhead teams gain access to price and volume forecasting for key protein items, enabling them to better understand the margin impact of market movements and link procurement decisions more directly to profitability. These insights support a range of operational decisions including finished goods costing, steak cutting strategies, spot versus formula buying, and evaluating fixed versus program pricing.
“We’re excited to start working with Buckhead Meat & Seafood, continuing to build upon our partnership with Sysco and supporting a team that plays an important role in supplying premium proteins to foodservice operators nationwide,” said Rohit Aggarwal, COO of DecisionNext. “By combining Buckhead’s market expertise with DecisionNext forecasting, this partnership helps bring greater visibility and confidence to procurement and pricing decisions across complex protein markets.”
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to leveraging advanced analytics and market intelligence to strengthen decision-making and performance across the protein supply chain.
