The Commodities Department at SMS is responsible for managing spend in grain, oils and soft futures. These commodities are some of the major components in finished products at the manufacturing process or for use directly at store level. Our goal is provide a steady cost of goods during erratic market conditions while maintaining competitive price points. We develop a strategic plan with set targets that are reviewed and updated weekly, and we have a proven track record for keeping costs at or below market value using this process. This translates directly into a lower cost of goods for our members and protects your bottom line profit.
