Start your own team - Version4 preview

Start your own buying team for almost anything.

Don’t see what your business buys? Tell us, and we’ll help find like-minded buyers to build the team.

  • Any product or service your business regularly buys.
  • We find the like-minded buyers. You don’t have to recruit them all yourself.
  • We don’t take commissions or kick-backs from suppliers.

Tell us what you’d like to buy

We’ll access the likely current success of the team. And if the result is positive we'll be back in touch and help find like-minded buyers to build your team.

How starting a team works.

1

Tell us what you buy

Describe what your business wants to buy and roughly what you spend on it.

2

We check the market

We research potential savings with suppliers before officially launching a team.

3

We build the team

We help find like-minded buyers to join you, creating collective demand and a stronger negotiating position. But of course, it’s in everybody’s interest for you to share the Team link with colleagues or via social media.

4

We negotiate, you proceed

Procumo negotiates with suppliers on behalf of the team. If the offer meets all of your requirements, then you proceed to payment or contract and everyone wins.

What could your team buy?

These are ideas to get you thinking. If your business buys it regularly, there may be a team in it.

Legal services

Combine demand for the legal help your business keeps buying.

Laptops and IT hardware

Buy devices together instead of one at a time.

Forklift servicing

Pool servicing and repairs across several sites.

Recruitment

Team up on agency fees and hiring services.

Marketing agencies

Agency fees, media and campaign costs.

Printing and packaging

Print runs, signage and branded packaging.

Here’s how little we keep.

If we save you an extra $1,000, we keep $100 and you keep $900 in savings. (Procumo fees range between 10%–15% of the new savings only.)

We don’t take commissions or kick-backs from suppliers.

Business owners agreeing a deal

Starting a team, answered.

Do I have to find my own team members?

We help find like-minded buyers to build your team from our database and sometimes even paid ads. But of course we encourage all team members to share the opportunity amongst their contacts.

Do I have to change suppliers?

No. You can also recommend your current supplier to be included as a bidder. We’re happy for you to suggest them, and they could then secure a large number of new customers. If the offer meets all of your requirements, then you proceed to payment or contract and everyone wins.

Are savings guaranteed?

No. Savings are never guaranteed, but we research potential savings with suppliers before officially launching teams.

How do Team Deposits work?

Some Teams have a small joining deposit of $25–$100, which is 100% refundable if we can’t get you a great deal. This is important as it gives suppliers confidence the buyers are committed and enables them to bid their sharpest price.
