Membership adds a second, aggregated rate alongside your existing supplier relationships — it doesn't replace or disrupt them.
Each member gets their own account with the supplier, tagged to the Alliance's negotiated rate. It's the same sub-account pattern already running with our supplier partners today — no shared logins, no shared statements, no visibility into any other member's account.
Raise a purchase order the same way you always have, through the same supplier. The only thing that changes is the price applied against your account — the aggregated Alliance rate, not your standalone volume tier.
The saving shows up directly on your supplier invoice. We don't take a cut of the unit price — our model is built around the same category volume, not a margin sitting between you and the supplier.
Membership doesn't require a minimum term or exclusivity across categories. If a category isn't earning its place in your buying, you keep using it elsewhere.
We don't publish which supplier or brand a rate comes from — that's commercially sensitive to both members and suppliers. What you're seeing below is the real comparison: the standalone tender price against the member rate, described generically rather than by brand or SKU.
