Get started with Elevate by Principal.
Sign up to unlock exclusive savings for your business.
Business owners may struggle to negotiate discounted rates. Elevate by Principal helps by partnering with a GPO that negotiates with suppliers to provide discounted rates on various goods and services. Business owners save time by not trying to negotiate on their own, and save on costs for necessary goods and services.
Is there a cost to join the GPO and/or is there an annual membership fee?
No, there are no costs or joining fees.
Will I be obligated or locked in to a contract if I use a GPO?
There are no requirements for business owners to purchase from specific suppliers. However, you may need to sign an agreement with certain suppliers to receive discounts.
Does Elevate by Principal make money from the GPO?
Yes. When a business owner saves money, Elevate by Principal also receives a small percentage of the savings generated through the group purchasing deals negotiated with suppliers.
How much could my business potentially save with a GPO?
Savings vary from business to business depending on a variety of factors. It’s possible to save up to 20% on some business expenses.
Is the discount a set percentage per company?
In most cases, there isn’t a flat discounted rate. Discounts/savings will depend on the supplier, quantities purchased, and existing negotiated rates. Our team can help you determine the categories and suppliers where you might save the most.
Are there purchase minimums I need to reach to qualify for discounts? What if I don’t meet a minimum for a given category?
A few suppliers have minimum spend thresholds. If you do not meet a particular supplier spend threshold, we can look at other suppliers that might offer similar products or services.
Do I need to change anything about my current purchasing patterns?
This depends on the supplier. Some may offer a simple discount code; others have escalating/tiered discounts or distinct pricing structures. Our team can help you navigate the process.
Are there any other offers or benefits a business owner might get through the GPO?
Yes. For example, suppliers could offer special shipping terms, extended payment terms, waived fees, and more.
What if my current vendors aren’t offered through the GPO?
You have options. In most categories, there are multiple suppliers. If alternatives are available, we can show you how your current supplier compares with other suppliers that offer the same products and/or services. Then you can decide if you want to take advantage of those savings by changing providers. There’s no pressure.
Will I still be able to purchase from my existing suppliers if I join the GPO?
You always have a choice. We’ll start by looking at opportunities to utilize existing suppliers, if they are part of the GPO. If your existing suppliers don’t currently participate, there may be an opportunity to save on the same or similar products or services by switching to a GPO supplier. You’re always free to purchase from your existing suppliers, GPO suppliers, or a mix of both.
Will we have specific contacts at each company we want to work with, and will we contact them directly to find discounts?
Our team takes the lead to understand potential savings opportunities for you. We may simply have a conversation, or you may share details from your annual spend/accounts payable. Once we’ve identified a savings opportunity, we’ll detail required steps to activate supplier savings. We work hard to make the process as easy as possible for you.
If I choose to provide my accounts payable/expense data, how will it be used?
You may make hundreds or even thousands of purchases throughout the year across a variety of categories. When we have visibility into the bigger spending picture, we can help you discover potential savings through GPO contracts as well as other opportunities, such as technology updates, supplier consolidation, or streamlined procurement processes.
How do you handle data/privacy concerns?
We take your trust and your personal information seriously. Our file transfer system uses secure protocols and encryption to safeguard your data, and we adhere to strict privacy policies. For more information about how we protect and secure your information, please see our privacy policy.
How will I place orders utilizing the GPO? How much time and administrative work is involved?
In most cases, you place orders the same way you do today. We’ll work with you to get the discount applied to your orders, with limited to no administrative work on your end.
What’s the onboarding process to start utilizing the GPO, and how quickly can I start saving?
Once you’ve registered, we’ll ask you to provide your top non-personnel spends. Then our team will research available savings opportunities and walk you through the results. As soon as we get the discount in place, you can begin saving on future purchases.
