Cadhi

What Cadhi does

Cadhi SAS is a French-Italian purchasing group (centrale d'achats) that aggregates procurement demand from independent hospitality professionals — hotels, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, and pastry shops — and negotiates competitive terms with a curated network of 230+ suppliers. The company reports 3,700+ members generating approximately €180 million in annual purchase volume across 95% of hospitality operational needs, spanning ten product families: welcome products, food, beverages, energy, equipment, maintenance, laundry, eco-responsible solutions (Green), HR tools, and professional services. Membership is free with no volume commitment, and members retain freedom of supplier choice; year-end rebates are transparently passed back to members.

The core technology stack consists of a centralized purchasing platform and an e-commerce ordering system at order.cadhi.fr, complemented by a mobile application for order and supplier management. Cadhi also operates a Carbon Footprint Tool (Green) for measuring and piloting environmental impact, and through a September 2025 partnership with Mews, members gain access to a hospitality technology ecosystem including property management system (PMS), point-of-sale (POS), and revenue management tools. Personalized purchase diagnostics are delivered by approximately 30 in-house experts, supported by 180+ CHR specialists.

Cadhi monetizes primarily through negotiated supplier commissions and volume-based rebates on member purchases (affiliate/referral revenue model). Go-to-market is sales-led: a three-step onboarding flow (form submission, expert contact, account activation) funnels prospects into the platform. The company is headquartered in Boulogne Billancourt, France, registered as a SAS (RCS Nanterre 399 934 017), operates across France and Italy, and is led by Director Jérôme Sannac. No external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership structures are disclosed.
