As a member driven organization, CoreTrust Purchasing Group uses a committee-based approach to determine the categories to source, vendors to evaluate and service levels that must be achieved. This process results in member alignment and commitment to supplier awards, leveraging our combined spend to obtain the best total value solution for our members.

Our suppliers are market leaders in their industry with reputations for innovation and service. Suppliers benefit from a CoreTrust relationship through a shortened sales cycle and reduction in marketing investments. CoreTrust adds substantial value by taking responsibility for establishing master agreements, providing access to members, providing implementation support and compliance management. This allows suppliers to invest more of their resources in identifying member needs and focusing on customer relationships.

Here are just a few of the suppliers CoreTrust partners with:

"Staples Advantage believes in partnerships that help shape the future and growth of our organization.  The CoreTrust model offers their member clients and outstanding program and gets us in front of key decision makers where we can showcase our extensive product expertise. CoreTrust's use of member-driven committees on specific sourcing categories allows us to objectively display our key differentiators, moving the conversation beyond a price-only discussion.  We value the relationship with CoreTrust and we see the model as a win-win for all parties involved."
