Contract and GPO Compliance
Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) and negotiated vendor contracts are powerful tools for healthcare providers to control costs. But ensuring every order is compliant—and that staff consistently purchase on-contract—can be a challenge. Many organizations struggle with decentralized ordering, lack of visibility, and missed savings opportunities.
SmartPO ensures every purchase aligns with your contracts and GPO pricing. By bringing all vendors and contracts into one platform, SmartPO makes compliance automatic, transparent, and easy to manage.
Why Contract Compliance Matters
- Lost savings: Without compliance, facilities overpay by missing negotiated pricing.
- Audit risk: Inconsistent purchasing creates headaches during financial or regulatory audits.
- Manual oversight: Procurement teams waste time chasing down off-contract purchases.
- Fee inflation: Competitor platforms add transaction fees that eat into contract savings.
With SmartPO, compliance is built in.
