2 Afaxys is a GPO an established and proven business model Afaxys is UNIQUE because it s dedicated to the public health sector Afaxys (affordable access) is a unique company whose singular mission for a decade has been to deliver products and services to public health providers affordably and reliably. We have successfully been providing a national Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). While GPOs have been successfully established across healthcare, the Afaxys GPO is unique. Unique because we are solely dedicated to the interests of the public healthcare sector. What do GPOs do? A GPO aggregates and combines the purchase volumes for products and services that are common to its membership As a result, it achieves better supply agreements whose benefits can be shared by all members, regardless of size Afaxys has created a solution that automates the entire purchasing process for public health clinics, making it easy for members to access these supply agreements and make higher use of the time and money saved GPOs receive a small administrative fee paid by suppliers a transaction fee paid in exchange for the business opportunity and added conveniences The GPO business model is very simple, that s why it s been successful. For the public healthcare sector, Afaxys combines your supply purchase volumes with other clinics that are buying many of the same products, thereby creating a buying advantage for everyone regardless of size. Suppliers are naturally attracted to the business opportunity, so they reward it with better supply agreements. And when you add-in all the contract management work performed by Afaxys work that saves everyone on both sides of the transaction a lot of time-- the list of benefits pile up in a hurry. The suppliers pay Afaxys a small administration fee for facilitating the flow of business and essentially, that s how the whole thing works. 2

Is it time consuming because it requires phone time, paper shuffling, faxing and occasional meetings with suppliers and distributor representatives? Are you confident that after all your shopping, you have found the best deals for your organization? Do you have a dedicated purchasing staff or is the task a secondary responsibility of one or more people who work in your office? Does anyone here devote significant time to researching products, evaluating suppliers and negotiating vendor contracts? Do you rely on your suppliers and distributors to keep you up to date, guide your ordering and make sure your pricing is correct?
