Procurement Service
Procurement Service
The Buying Network is a purchasing cooperative, service supplier, and distributor. By combining the purchasing power of your peers, your competitors, and other industries, you increase your buying power, and decrease your cost. A small selection of these combined purchases has allowed us to offer these items via our online store. We are a real brick and mortar business, not like some other web based company that sends out orders to companies like us.
Farming, government, schools, and the medical industry have been rewarded with these savings from purchasing as a co-op for years. We bring these benefits to the ship supply and seafood processing industries without belonging to a co-op. Our expertise in the industry and our procurement experience means savings for you.
"A dollar saved is a dollar of pure profit: Savings of $1,000 is equivalent to a sales staff generating $10,000"

Procurement
The cost of having a professional procurement team is prohibitive to most small- to medium-sized businesses. This situation leaves secretarial staff, payroll personnel, and the operations department to hunt for goods and services: devoting less time to their primary responsibilities, and learning the purchasing business on company time and money. We combine the purchasing power of many businesses without compromise to proprietary information. The result is a full-service purchasing department, with no payroll or benefits expenses.
Volume
Contract administration, volume purchasing, and many years of purchasing experience all add up to a service that doesn't cost you any more than you were spending on your own. Our fees are paid by our own efficiency! We have only one objective - to give the customer the right product at the right time, for the right price - leaving your staff free to do what it does best - make money for your company.

Benefits

Partnership

How do we get paid?
Our services are paid by some of the difference of our combined buying power, and the price you would pay on your own. The total cost of acquisition is the bottom line. Do your current suppliers charge for delivery? Do you make multiple phone calls looking for products? Does your crew go shopping, instead of working? How much time do you spend shopping for goods and services? These are some of the real costs of the purchase process.
