Purchasing for the office products industry has changed over the years. The investment in a purchasing agent used to be justified by the amount of money the agent saved the business through shopping around for the best price on each item. Today, savings are the result of buying power. Businesses now try to buy as many items as possible from the same wholesaler. This results in greater rebates and a stronger negotiating position with the wholesaler.
Office products dealers who previously could not meet the minimum order requirements for direct purchasing now can align themselves with a buying group to overcome these minimum order obstacles.
