Benefits of Membership

Transparency

Preferred Supplier program details are shared with all TUG Members online through the private TUG Portal.  Member payable statements are provided with each check, listing the period purchasing volume and rebates earned by supplier, percentage split, and any applicable withholdings.

Profitability

Purchasing products at a better price with a considerable rebate incentive allows TUG Members to price their products for resale more competitively, provide better customer service, and become more profitable.

Technology

TUG has deployed the NXT-Cloud® GPO Commerce Suite to take unnecessary costs out of the procurement life cycle through business, process, and technology automation technology. The B2B platform makes it easier and more cost-effective for suppliers to do business with TUG members, and provides secure online access to critical business decision-making data and a collection of data analysis and reporting applications.

Autonomy

At TUG, every member has an equal share in voting rights when it comes to making critical group-wide business decisions.  1 share = 1 vote.
