Solution for Suppliers
Suppliers who partner with Corporate United have the unique opportunity of working with companies focused on developing and maintaining a win-win relationship with their vendors. Corporate United understands that establishing such a relationship with the buyer is nearly impossible without communication, trust, transparency, measurement and execution between the two companies. Our organization helps to facilitate those relationships to create sustainable partnerships that benefit both the buyer and the supplier.
Essential to becoming a partner to the buyer is first establishing your place as a successful supplier to Corporate United. We offer tremendous value to our members, and we expect the same from our suppliers. Suppliers achieve success with Corporate United and our members by providing national account representation, helping the GPO to better understand and market your total value offering, working flexibly with our group of more than 130 Global 2000 companies, and continuing to maintain and improve the competitiveness and service level of your offering.
Becoming a partner of Corporate United provides you with a great deal more than just an introduction to a group of interested buyers. Access to the Corporate United membership means access to the world’s largest virtual organization, the more than 130 companies with aggregate revenue of over $500 billion and an active employee count of 1.7 million. Because we work so diligently to market our suppliers’ offerings to our members and prospects, our suppliers realize consistent growth in market share and retention numbers when working with our members, even years after the agreement was first negotiated.
The value proposition that Corporate United offers to suppliers is based on four main principles: advocacy, transparency, business development and customer retention. All of these principles were developed to serve the best interest of both our members and our suppliers, since by supporting one group and not the other, Corporate United would hold no value for either.
