Alliance Purchasing Network

Your Trusted Partner in Cost Effective, High Quality Purchasing

Building your purchasing power and managing your costs are key operational goals for your community. With Alliance Purchasing Network (APN), you benefit on both fronts plus one more: revenue growth.

Financial benefits to your organization include:

  • Six to 14 percent front end price savings.
  • Two to six percent in manufacturers' rebates.
  • The highest percentage incentive return of any fee-free group purchasing organization (GPO) in the country. Our members also receive a portion of our GPO administrative fees.

We can provide such powerful benefits for several reasons. We are a transparent, national GPO with low overhead and a clear mission to serve nonprofit retirement communities as well as long term care providers exclusively. Purchasing for organizations that serve seniors is our specialty, not a convenient add-on. We negotiate directly with our vendor partners—manufacturers—to deliver superior discounts.
