Group Purchasing Organization (GPO)
Businesses are turning to Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) to take advantage of savings not only through reduced prices negotiated into the purchasing contracts, but also saving time by standardizing and streamlining the purchasing process, custom options and even enhancing human resources and employee benefits.
LBMC’s GPO saves businesses money and time as they navigate persistent inflation. We have an immense list of suppliers and contracts in the portfolio, you can participate in the high-tiered savings that our overall book of business qualifies for. Best news is that there are no fees to join and you have the option to sign up directly with our GPO right now!
What is a GPO?
A GPO, Group Purchasing Organization, is a platform that allows any business to join a group of other buyers who are interested in the same products and services. Each GPO can vary from one organization to another. Our GPO is different than a typical GPO simply by the use of volume and leverage. We aggregate our clients’ spend which allows members to receive better pricing in typical categories.
Our partnership is through one of the nation’s largest GPO’s, combining the purchasing power of thousands of companies that result in lower prices for everyone. We can offer significant discounts from hundreds of suppliers for office supplies, medical supplies, electronics, shipping, facility supplies and services, IT, telecom services, food and foodservice supplies, professional services, HR services, payment solutions, and more!
Becoming a member is easy and immediately starts you on a journey of improved savings and operations! Please provide your information and a representative will contact you to discuss your needs and help you complete the membership process.
