About SourceIntersect

Buying power should not belong only to the biggest companies.

SourceIntersect brings businesses together so they can access the purchasing leverage, vendor programs, and procurement infrastructure that are difficult to build alone.

One network. Shared buying power. Free membership.

Why SourceIntersect exists

Level the procurement playing field.

Large companies have sourcing teams, negotiated supplier contracts, and the volume to command better terms. Independent businesses usually do not. SourceIntersect closes that gap by combining member purchasing power and negotiating programs that members can use when they make sense.

Our mission

Make enterprise buying power accessible.

Give small and mid-sized businesses access to stronger purchasing leverage, national vendor relationships, and active procurement support without requiring them to build an enterprise sourcing function of their own.

Our vision

Become the procurement arm behind independent operators.

Start with high-impact categories such as fuel, then expand across the recurring products and services businesses already buy until independent operators can purchase with the leverage of much larger organizations.

Leadership

Built on procurement, supply chain, and negotiating experience.

SourceIntersect is led by operators who have spent their careers building purchasing programs, negotiating enterprise agreements, and working inside the systems that large organizations use to manage spend.

How the model works

SourceIntersect creates leverage. Members keep control.

The model is intentionally simple: combine purchasing power, negotiate better programs, and let each business decide what is worth using.

1

Members join for free

Membership adds each business to a larger buying block without requiring a monthly or annual membership fee.

2

SourceIntersect negotiates

Aggregated purchasing volume creates leverage with national suppliers and supports negotiated programs across multiple spend categories.

3

Members buy directly

Businesses purchase from and pay participating vendors directly. Use the programs that make sense. Skip the ones that do not.

One network, multiple industries

The same buying block. The same vendor relationships. The same team.

SourceIntersect supports industry-specific GPO brands so businesses can enter the network through a program that speaks their language without fragmenting the purchasing power behind it.

Every GPO in the SourceIntersect network shares the same buying block, vendor relationships, and team. The industry brands change the front door, not the purchasing engine behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SourceIntersect.

What is a group purchasing organization?

A group purchasing organization combines the purchasing volume of many businesses to negotiate stronger supplier programs than many members could obtain on their own.

How much does SourceIntersect membership cost?

Membership is free. SourceIntersect is compensated through vendor relationships rather than a member subscription fee.

Do I buy products from SourceIntersect?

No. Members generally purchase from and pay participating vendors directly while accessing the negotiated program.

Do I have to use every program?

No. Use the programs that save your business money and skip the ones that do not.

Why does SourceIntersect have industry-specific pages and brands?

Different industries buy differently. The industry pages make the relevant categories easier to understand while the underlying SourceIntersect network, vendor relationships, and buying leverage remain shared.
