Retail Procurement That
Protects Your Margins

In retail, every cost you can’t see comes out of your margin. The goods you sell get a lot of attention, but indirect spend like store supplies, packaging, facility services, uniforms, and technology is often spread across hundreds of locations and suppliers. CenterPoint Group helps multi-location retailers cut store operating costs through group purchasing, strategic sourcing, and supplier consolidation, so every location buys the right products at the right price.
