What is a GPO?

A Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) helps businesses save by combining their purchasing power. GPOs negotiate with suppliers to deliver lower prices on the products and services you already use—unlocking serious cost savings.

At Entegra, we specialize in helping hospitality-driven businesses reduce costs across food, supplies, FF&E and more—while improving menu profitability and operational efficiency.

How Do GPOs Make Money?

It varies, but great GPOs don’t charge you to join. Entegra is 100% free to join, with no membership fees. Our suppliers fund us through rebates—so our $42 billion in buying power benefits them and you.

More volume for suppliers. More savings and selection for you. Win-win.

Why Join a GPO?

The best GPOs offer more than just discounted pricing. With Entegra, you also get:

  • Access to thousands of trusted suppliers and top-tier brands
  • Time-saving tools for sourcing, pricing, and delivery

Time to Switch GPOs?
