What Our [Clients] Say
Claude Goodin
[Perdido Beach]“The benefits of team support and resource capabilities are unmatched with the purpose of keeping everyone honest. I personally value the usefulness of our purchasing power and partnering with Source 1 to obtain maximum discounts from suppliers. The greatest value comes from their team and the diligence to support clients.”
John Mayes
[El Toro]“I like the saying often imitated but never duplicated when it comes to Source1. Sure there are a lot of other companies that try to be as good as Source1 but they never match the savings, the attention to details, the service or the personal care that you receive when partnering with them.”
Yvonne Manning
[Sycuan Casino Resort]“We are excited to embark on this journey with Source1. Their cutting-edge technology and expertise will play a pivotal role in enhancing our supply chain operations. We look forward to not only realizing significant cost savings but also leveraging advanced tools that will optimize our entire procurement process”

[NY State Hospitality & Tourism Association]“NYSH&TA is excited to partner with Source1 to offer its members access to savings across their suppliers and help them gain insights into their purchasing using first-in- class technology.”
Tricia Fischenich
[Best Western]“When you're working with the team at Source1, you're not just a number, you become family. I know at any time, I have Emma's number, I have Artie's number in my cell phone. They don't care even if it's Sunday afternoon, if I send a message, I get a response.”
Jocelyn Flores
[Cinepolis]“With Source1, they have been an extension of our team by giving us feedback on a broader view of supply chain, from the manufacturers, to the distributors, to our clients, they give us the tools we need to plan ahead.”
Karim Lakhani

Amil Patel
[NARA Hotels]“Source1 has been the most important relationship we have as a business. They have dramatically improved our financial profitability, but more importantly they are changing the way we operate.
