If Pluxee constitutes a large percentage of a supplier's overall sales, that supplier is likely to be more accommodating with pricing and terms to secure Pluxee's continued business. This dependency effectively lowers the supplier's leverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, imagine a food vendor supplying Pluxee with a significant portion of their daily orders.
