A group purchasing organization (GPO), is a group of businesses or organizations that collectively negotiate and purchase goods or services from suppliers, usually at a discounted price. The goal of a group purchasing organization is to leverage the buying power of multiple organizations to obtain lower prices, better terms, and higher quality products or services.

Group purchasing organizations are popular among small and medium-sized businesses, as they provide these organizations with the same purchasing power as larger companies. In addition to cost savings, GPOs can also streamline procurement processes, improve supply chain management, and provide access to new products or suppliers.

Joining a group purchasing organization like Excelerate America can provide a variety of benefits to individuals and businesses, including: reduce costs, access high-quality products and services, streamline purchasing processes, and improve efficiency, all while building valuable connections within your industry.

Finding the right group buying program can help you save money on your business expenses and free up resources to invest in growth. Remember to also factor in your own budget and purchasing needs, as well as any specific products or services you require.
