Members
We combine the buying power of multiple enterprises, so you experience the collective leverage of a much larger organization. In addition, we provide visibility into key success factors such as market pricing, distribution contracts, commodity pricing, and access to improved service levels to support operational improvements. Our Master Data Management Platform works in real time to provide analytics, insights and visualization on critical but not necessarily core categories where Members often lack the time or resources to focus.
Suppliers
Strong Supplier relationships drive value and improve terms for our Members. We work with Suppliers which are incumbent to a Member on price and other key terms. When Suppliers are incumbent to a Member, we help consolidate volume and drive contract compliance. Suppliers benefit from expanded volume and deeper customer relationships. This matters to Members because it means you get better terms and better responsiveness from blue-chip Suppliers. TruPointe manages dynamic pricing agreements, continuously benchmarking pricing across the entire catalog so Suppliers work to provide optimal value.
