What Should a Group Purchasing Marketplace Do for Members and Suppliers?

 

Creating unique group purchasing portals requires software that makes buying and selling faster for members and suppliers. Our B2B procurement marketplace solution offers a platform for collective buying with advanced functionality.

 

Virto Marketplace manages GPO contract relations, connects members with suppliers, and gives each member a purchasing experience suited to their needs, with AI built in to help teams work faster.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY

Build Your GPO Marketplace with Ease and Flexibility

 

Build a group buying marketplace that grows with you. With Virto’s composable platform, you can add supplier categories, member tiers, and purchasing programs as your GPO grows — without full replatforming.

Architectural Excellence

Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or ready to upgrade from your current legacy technology stack, we have you covered. Integrate your commerce tech stack with as much or as little of Virto's platform as you need.

Virto Atomic Architecture™

Build on Virto Atomic Architecture™, the proprietary technology behind Virto Marketplace, founded on four pillars: composability, open APIs, high performance, and scalability.

Managed Delivery Model

 

Virto Marketplace can be delivered as a fully managed service, which reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and lowers risk. In a vendor-managed environment, both the vendor and the systems integrator keep shipping improvements that add value for customers.

Integrate the Systems You Already Run

Connect any ERP, PMS, and other internal or third-party systems to digitize ordering and build the experience buyers and sellers need. Grow an ecosystem of connected applications for continuous, smooth, and easily scalable operations.

Advanced Technology Stack

Extend the platform with proven technologies: .NET, Kubernetes, GraphQL, and Elastic Search. Benefit from increased transparency, flexibility, lower development costs, and hassle-free scalability that these agile-friendly tools provide.

Core Features for Collective Purchasing

1. Built-In Supplier Integrations 

Run high-volume, real-time integrations with hundreds of suppliers. Pre-built connections give members contract-based access to current prices and inventory data, organized by warehouse.

2. Advanced Analytics and Reporting 

Get data transparency across the group, with reporting on spending patterns, order history, supplier performance, and savings from collective purchases.

3. AI-Powered B2B Order Facilitation

AI takes the slow parts out of a purchase. Semantic search finds the right item when the buyer does not know its exact name, and AI purchase order capture reads an incoming order instead of someone retyping it.

4. Custom Onboarding Pipelines 

Each GPO marketplace sets its own onboarding rules to match its business model: custom onboarding pipelines, compliance and verification methods, and permission assignments. New suppliers are onboarded in days, not weeks.
