BuildingEase’s Marketplace and GBC and the USGBC CA Rebuild Marketplace are unprecedented opportunities for lowest prices in the industry and pricing transparency to stop the typically 40% lost during construction to cost cutting or unwanted substitutions.
Who is a Buyer? A buyer can be an owner (facility manager buying products for replacement or small renovation) or any construction professional – general contractor or subcontractor. There are no minimum orders (your order is automatically combined with all other orders!) and no cost to using this service.
The Marketplace supports traditional procurement, where the Buyer interacts with their typical supplier, just through the platform, which is critical to owners and project teams for many reasons.
The Global Buyer’s Club is group purchasing – a cross between a B2B trade exchange and a new, improved model of GPO (Group Purchasing Org). BE centralizes and aggregates procurement across all projects in all regions in one simple dashboard, without you needing to make any effort other than making a good deal! This empowers you to have more control over (previously) lost specified products. Project teams finally have unit cost pricing transparency and unprecedented discounts due to this economy of scale and the volume of projects in one place that allows for that.
Why the manufacturer may have a role in sales: BE does not cut anyone out of the sales process, but reps and distributors are territory specific and may not have as much ability to capture economy of scale and offer discounts to projects all over the US and beyond. In this case, the manufacturer – through inside sales roles – may be the only one who can take advantage of volume discounting at this scale. This is completely up to your company, its structure and how you choose to manage various sales pipelines. BE staff are happy to work with you to figure out the best way to take advantage of these new opportunities.
