Buying Cooperatives
Buying cooperatives in the public sector range
from informal groups of neighboring agencies to elaborate
professionally staffed cooperative organizations. Whether
large or small, co-ops benefit from Epylon's services which
transform the purchasing process and result in better pricing.
Today's leading-edge buying cooperatives often
cross traditional boundaries. It is common to see cities cooperate
with school districts, large urban governments cooperate with
small rural agencies and West Coast groups cooperate with
East Coast groups. Due to the complex dynamics of modern cooperatives,
visionary co-ops turn to Epylon for:
- Day-to-day co-op management services
- Strategic sourcing and data analysis
- Bid development, tabulation and evaluation
- Co-op technology tools ranging from sophisticated fax
networks to eCommerce systems using eBid and eQuote functionality
