Where manufacturing budgets leak.
Indirect spend blind spots
Hundreds of small suppliers, none of them benchmarked. GPS consolidates categories onto pre-competed contracts.
Supply interruptions
Contracted suppliers with attested pricing and committed terms reduce the scramble when markets tighten.
Procurement bandwidth
Your buyers should chase strategic savings, not re-quote janitorial. We handle the RFPs for indirect categories.
Built on a foundation of high-tech manufacturing.
GPS traces its roots to a consortium of manufacturing and engineering firms — group purchasing for industry has been our core for more than a decade.
- Category portfolio shaped by manufacturing members, for manufacturing needs
- Tier-one suppliers contracted on total membership volume
- Savings verified through invoice auditing, not estimates
- No forced utilization — pilot one category, expand when it proves out
