In their words
Why buying groups love Brandfora
Today quarter-end is a reconstruction.

Someone matches supplier statements to member purchases, and the underclaims hide in the gap. With Brandfora every purchase order carries the member's own supplier account number and is tagged to the group when the sale happens. The claim is one report, and the supplier's number matches yours.
Today a supplier moves cost and you send a newsletter.

Some members update, some don't, and someone sells under cost. With Brandfora you edit the group price list and every member's stores change in seconds, with the margin floor holding.
That's a USP for sure.Vendor partnerships lead, franchise system, about 200 locations, watching a price change reach every store

With Brandfora a member pastes the prospect's website address and a branded store is standing in nine to fifteen seconds. The quote takes seconds, and it is a cart the buyer can edit and pay. The volume lands on your agreement.
Today you negotiate on last year's estimate.

With Brandfora you see what members sell, by product, by supplier, by season, without touching any member's customer list. Current demand is a stronger position than a guess.
One distributor told us how it works today: "To understand profits per order we download a CSV from one tool and a CSV from another and cross-reference them." With Brandfora revenue and fulfillment cost sit on the same order record.

With Brandfora the price list shows markup or margin with a live readout, quantity tiers, size surcharges, and a floor that never sells under cost. You set it at the group and let members adjust where you allow it.
I love how the auto change on pricing. That's incredible. That does fix quite a bit of problems.Senior sales leader, national apparel supplier, watching one price list update every store
Today members sell on other store tools and you never see those orders.

With Brandfora order ingestion pulls those orders into the same cockpit. You see the volume you influence but never counted, and members change nothing on day one.
The features that do it
What the group runs, member by member.
What you keep
Your members stay your members. Your agreements stay your agreements.
- Your supplier agreements and the negotiated pricing behind them.
- Your rebate programs and the reporting your suppliers already accept.
- Your members' independence: their brands, their customers, their Stripe, their tax.
- Your existing group systems. Orders flow out by webhook.
- Your members as your members. They are never our customers around you.
How it starts
One member’s store, then the members watching that one.
We build their store on the call, routed through your agreements, and quote a real order from it.
Members' current sales from other store tools flow into your cockpit. You see the volume before anyone changes a habit.
The one who wins a corporate program in the meeting becomes the story the rest of the membership asks about.
The honest caveat: a member who wants to buy off-agreement still can. What changes is that the group system is the faster path, so the default flips on its own.
