What is a Buying Group?

A Buying group is an organization that boosts the purchasing capability of a group of distributors by obtaining supplier discounts based on the group’s collective power.
Generally speaking, a Buying Group values and supports the collectivity. It negotiates pricing and terms with suppliers – better than members could achieve on their own, saving them time and money. Therefore, the members will be able to have better margins with the same resources.
