Benefits

Why sourcing together works.

Consortium buying removes the biggest barrier to better ingredient pricing — volume. GrowinCo. pools demand across dozens of brands to give every member leverage.

Lower Ingredient Costs

Pool purchasing volume with other CPG brands to unlock pricing tiers unavailable to individual buyers.

Pre-qualified Suppliers

Every supplier in a consortium program is pre-vetted by GrowinCo. — certifications, compliance, and capacity confirmed.

Market Intelligence

Access anonymized benchmarking data — see how your ingredient prices compare to the broader CPG market.

Collective Bargaining

Negotiate better terms together. Consortium members benefit from unified leverage with shared suppliers.

Simplified RFQ Process

One consolidated RFQ sent to multiple suppliers — less administrative overhead, faster responses.

Scheduled Buying Rounds

Participate in regularly scheduled consortium buying rounds aligned to seasonal sourcing calendars.
