DON Smallgoods leverages DecisionNext to improve buy timing, manage risk, and drive more consistent procurement outcomes.
SAN FRANCISCO, California – May 15, 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 DON Smallgoods, a division of George Weston Foods and a leading producer of pork products in Australia and New Zealand. Through this enterprise collaboration, DON Smallgoods will leverage DecisionNext’s forecasting and decision intelligence platform to improve procurement timing, strengthen risk management, and drive more consistent outcomes across its pork supply chain.
In today’s protein markets, procurement teams are often required to make high-stakes purchasing and positioning decisions without clear forward visibility or standardized decision frameworks. This challenge is particularly acute in global pork markets, where volatility, import sourcing complexity, and shifting supply dynamics create additional layers of risk. DecisionNext addresses this by providing forward-looking forecasts and structured workflows that help teams better understand market direction, evaluate purchasing scenarios, and align decisions with measurable outcomes.
“In pork markets, we’re often making procurement and positioning decisions several months ahead, where timing and risk management are critical,” said Dwight Bibbs, Procurement and Fresh BU Director at DON Smallgoods. “DecisionNext gives us clearer forward visibility and a structured way to evaluate storage and purchasing strategies, helping us manage volatility and make more confident decisions.”
Through the DecisionNext platform, DON Smallgoods gains access to predictive insights and decision support tools that help improve buy timing relative to market indexes, manage storage and positioning strategies, and reduce time spent assembling market data and reporting. By establishing repeatable dashboards, workflows, and an operating cadence—including ongoing support and strategic guidance—the partnership is designed to deliver measurable value within the first three months.
“This partnership with DON Smallgoods is about building a repeatable, data-driven approach to procurement decisions,” said Rohit Aggarwal, COO of DecisionNext. “By combining forecasting with structured workflows and ongoing enablement, we’re helping their team turn market insight into measurable performance outcomes.”
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving decision-making, increasing transparency, and building more efficient, scalable procurement processes across the protein supply chain.
