Level the Purchasing Playing Field for Your ECE School

Is it fair that large franchises, corporate-owned schools, and big non-profits like YMCA, JCC, and Volunteers of America have an edge on purchasing over your ECE school? These large operations have significant buying power, allowing them to negotiate better deals on supplies, software, services, and equipment because they represent hundreds of schools. They also benefit from tax breaks on property, payroll, and sales, which allows them to price their tuition lower and face fewer state regulations.
 
Level the purchasing playing field with IC360’s Group Purchasing Program. Save on your favorite brands and essential supplies with the same buying power as the big players. Let’s help your school thrive and compete effectively.
