Savings beyond food

Savings beyond food

August 17, 2022

Sure, many GPOs can help you save on food, but what about savings beyond food?

Entegra is the world’s largest food GPO, but that’s just one of the many product categories we contract.

We spoke to two professionals to explain how clients can leverage savings in the non-food categories each time they buy. Director, National Accounts (Canada), Karin Flynn, and Director, National Accounts (Canada), Brad Gable, share insights on optimizing business performance with a broader network of suppliers and vendors.

Q: What product categories can members tap into via local and direct supplier programs and how does Entegra best meet their needs?

Karin Flynn: In addition to savings on over 350+ manufacturer agreements, Entegra contracts with approximately 100+ direct suppliers for products and service programs — from “Parking Lot to Rooftop” — to meet our client’s needs. Our team works closely with clients to maximize opportunities through our extensive portfolio of contracts for savings in all operations departments, including food and beverage, facilities, administrative and environmental services.

Q: How does the Entegra team work with clients to identify local and direct savings opportunities?

Karin Flynn: From the very start, our experienced team coordinates to learn exactly what’s important to our clients and how to better serve their needs.

Brad Gable: We align their locations with programs that provide value and savings. And the work does not stop there! We continue to work with clients, our supply management team and suppliers on additional contracting opportunities to strengthen relationships and bring our clients increased value.

Q: Supply chain complexities can be challenging. How does Entegra help members overcome these challenges?

Brad Gable: Entegra works closely with our supplier and distributor partners to identify potential supply chain issues and develop solutions that best meet our client's needs. We can provide each client with a multitude of options to overcome any supply chain challenge that comes their way.
