We know how trade associations operate — we grew out of one.
GPS traces its roots to a consortium of high-tech manufacturing and engineering firms. That insider perspective means we understand the requirement to deliver member value — not just supplier deals.
Higher retention, lower churn
Our suppliers are contracted to give your members personal attention from first contact through the entire relationship. That service level reflects favorably on your organization at renewal time.
Home-grown programs
Our programs are primarily built in-house, with categories and suppliers not commonly found in other GPOs — so members get materially deeper discounts than standard affinity offerings.
Compliance aware
We work with 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6) organizations and understand concerns around unrelated business income (UBI) and related compliance matters.
Focus on your mission. We'll run the benefit.
Associations and nonprofits outsource their cost-saving programs to GPS to take advantage of our experience serving member-based organizations. Your brand fronts the program; our team does the work.
- Turnkey launch — supplier portfolio, enrollment, and support handled by GPS
- "Stickiness" that lengthens member renewal cycles
- Programs tailored to the needs common across your member base
- A new non-dues value story for recruitment and renewals
- Reporting that shows your board the value delivered
Built for the businesses your members actually are
Most association members are small and medium businesses — and every one of them buys the products and services in our portfolio on a regular basis. Having one trusted source for discounted pricing, without an extensive search or lengthy negotiations, is exactly what a busy owner or office manager needs. Our savings programs were built to support companies with fewer than 500 employees just as well as national enterprises: no minimums, no forced utilization, and name-brand suppliers with established relationships.
Give your members a benefit worth renewing for.
