Secret weapon to cut costs

Group discount firm n3 has access to competitive discounts and preferential pricing with a wide range of suppliers such as Bunnings, Caltex, BP, NZ Safety and OfficeMax. Pricing, n3 members find, is inevitably better than could be negotiated on their own.

N3 members start seeing the benefits of joining almost as soon as they sign up. Saving time is also a bonus; for companies with an established procurement team, using n3 contracts for non-strategic spend means more time can be spent focusing on strategic negotiation.

Savings can amount to $10,000 a year on average, and many n3 members in the manufacturing industry save more than $40,000 a year.
