How it Works
Members Buy at Volume Discounts as One Large Organization
Pricing is a volume game. Every company knows that if they spend more with a supplier, they get a lower price. Volume power is what GPS offers its member companies. We add up our members’ total spend to get them the best price available – with no time wasted negotiating!
Through guidance from our members, GPS selects major indirect and commodity spend categories to develop group purchasing offers. Top suppliers are required to quote on the total buying potential of our membership. GPS contracts directly with the suppliers offering the best overall terms and conditions for the diverse customer base we provide them.

What is a GPO?
Group purchasing can be summed up in four words – it saves you money. A group purchasing organization (GPO) provides value beyond cost savings. We provide a better way for you to do business.
Trade Associations
GPS knows how trade associations operate. Our company was constructed on the foundation of the industry trade group CapOneSource Alliance. Unlike other GPOs, this insider perspective means that we understand firsthand the requirement to deliver member value. Unlike other GPOs, we built our savings programs to support medium and small businesses who expect their industry trade association to address needs common to their member base. Our suppliers are contracted to provide association members with personal attention starting with their first contact and carrying through their entire relationship. This high service level reflects favorably upon the trade organization at renewal time with higher retention rates and lower churn.
An additional uniqueness to our programs is that they are primarily home-grown and consist of categories and suppliers not commonly found in other GPOs. This means that association members gain access to far greater pricing discounts and service levels than standard affinity program offerings.
Technology, Manufacturing, & Engineering
GPS is constructed on the foundation the CapOneSource Alliance, a consortium of high-tech manufacturing and engineering firms. Group purchasing has been at the core of our value proposition for over 12 years. By aggregating the demand of commodities common to all of our members, we have created an uncommon portfolio of cost-saving programs geared to the needs of technology companies. Our facilities and information technology programs have been tailored to provide members with the service levels and terms demanded in today’s fast pace world. Whether it is specific to a telecommunications requirement, a specialty process gas, or a customized inventory solution, GPS has contracted with the tier one supplier to meet your particular needs.

Q&A
What is a GPO?
The resulting combined buying power helps small, mid-size and larger organizations save money on their purchases within categories such as temporary labor services, office products, safety supplies, office equipment, packaging supplies, uniform & laundry services, pest control, and shipping.Consilidating purchasing efforts through a GPO also saves time and reduces staffing overhead costs.
GPS suppliers offer preferred pricing, terms, and service standards because they experience lower overall selling expenses and increased volume associated with the addition of a single, very large customer.
Are there different types of GPOs?
If you’ve seen one GPO, you’ve really only seen one GPO, as they vary greatly in size, type of ownership and the services they offer. Some GPOs only serve not-for-profit organizations, while others serve proprietary facilities, and some serve a mix of the two. Some GPOs are owned by hospitals, while others do not have a link to the facilities they serve. Some GPOs offer members the ability to purchase nearly every conceivable type of product, while others focus on specific product categories.
Do I have to use particular suppliers or spend at a certain level?
No. There is no obligation to spend or to use any particular supplier. Additionally, most of our suppliers do not require any minimum amount to be spent with them to enjoy our discounted prices.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes. You are free to cancel at any time. Unfortunately, you will lose access to our pre-negotiated discounts and terms.
What are the membership requirements?
Our only requirement as a participant is confidentiality. We have worked hard to develop our supplier partner relationships, and need to protect our trade secrets! As a result, in order to become a participant, you are required to sign a confidentiality agreement stating that you will not share our pricing with other companies, or use it to procure better pricing on your own with other suppliers.
Does a GPO agreement replace our procurement?
While we do simplify the procurement process of many indirect items, we cannot replace your buying professionals and their knowledge of your company’s specific needs. Our aim is to augment your internal team, freeing them to work on reducing costs on the goods and services that provide you with a competitive advantage.
