Vendor membership

ARMVEND welcomes new vendors and new technology in order to increase the value proposition we offer our members.

The advantages of becoming a vendor member of ARMVend are multiple but most important is the strength of the leads ARMVend will bring to its vendor members. ARMVend will help leverage the combined strength of our ARM member  to provide extensive revenue-enhancing, cost-saving and market-share-expanding opportunities for the vendors.  We will facilitate networking opportunities throughout the year with the ARM membership.

An ARMVEND contract award is coveted because it means vendors will have the opportunity to obtain business from ARMVEND members purchasing within the vendor’s category. This committed purchasing model eliminates the inefficient and costly requirement of vendors soliciting market share firm by firm.

The minimum criteria that a vendor must meet to be considered for participation in a contract bid process, includes but is not limited to the following: 

  • The vendor’s products and services  will meet or exceed the level of quality, durability and cost-effectiveness of items currently under contract and being utilized by its members; 
     
  • The vendor’s distribution system can accommodate ARMVENDS’ volume without undue delays or back orders;
     
  • The vendor must demonstrate financial stability and long-term viability;
     
  • The vendor must be able to provide detailed reports of usage information by member facility, at least quarterly;

The vendor is encouraged to use creative, innovative approaches to improve service, quality and cost.

ARM members come to ARMVend in hopes of finding a better vendor at a reduced pricing structure so you can be assured that as a Vendor member you will have access to customers who are motivated to change vendors. In addition ARMVend staff will help facilitate the change and make it easy for both the ARM member and the vendor member.

So if you desire qualified leads brought to your door by ARMVend and you can agree to a revenue share with ARMVend we suggest you join as a vendor member today. We do require all vendors to be members of ARMVend before we will provide them leads. You can chose to sign a revenue share agreement now or when we bring you a deal and you accept it, either way in fine with us.
