Customized contracting for savings on exactly what you need

Entegra has over 1,500 national, regional and local suppliers – but what happens on the rare occasion your business needs a product that is not on the current scope of contracted partners?

We tapped into Entegra’s Director of Program Implementation, Shiva Manishankar, to discuss the benefits and flexibility of custom contracting.

Q: How can a Group Purchasing Organization bring value to clients with custom contracting?

A: At Entegra, we leverage the buying power of our entire client base to meet the needs of each member. When it comes to custom contracting, it is the same approach – if a client’s need is not being met and requires a product or service not available under our current contracts, it then becomes a catalyst for our Supply Chain Team. The team then works to source the best suppliers, while bringing the best value to all Entegra members.

Q: Is it possible for a new member to negotiate their existing contracts?

A: Yes, and there is no need to switch. In fact, our team of experts can also conduct audits to be sure you’re getting the best possible price on any of your existing contracts as well. We make working with Entegra an easy one.

Q: Are there any other advantages to contract management with Entegra?

A: Since managing several contracts can sometimes be a rigorous process for business owners, Entegra can also help control costs by improving productivity. We also recommend that our clients consider increasing their overall distribution network. It means reducing the total number of contracts and equates to fewer total deliveries. It’s an easy transition to make without major changes to your operation’s program.
