Lowe’s joins the ESM supplier network

We’re always on the lookout for ways to grow our supplier network because we know that online procurement portals get the most use when they have the businesses and retailers that users want to shop from.

So we’re excited to announce that we’ve recently added a big new business to the mix: Lowe’s, the second-largest home improvement retailer in the world and the eighth-largest retailer in the United States.

And as Lowe’s joins our increasingly diverse and strategic mix of suppliers with punch-out capabilities, it’s bringing some important new procurement initiatives to the table.

Users can now purchase items with credit cards, not just purchase orders. Government sector institutions can take advantage of an automatic 7% discount. And E&I and National IPA contracts are available.

At the same time, a Lowe’s punch-out can help to bridge the facilities department gap in your procurement marketplace. Lowe’s sales representatives, who work regularly with facilities departments, can help pave the way with department leaders to encourage the use of an online procurement shopping portal, boosting spend, savings, and overall benefits.

We know our users regularly shop at Lowe’s, and we’re thrilled to add them to our supplier network. We’ll continue to add to our supplier network to ensure we have the right spend coverage for our customer base.

There is no minimum spend required to enable a Lowe’s punch-out. If you’re interested, contact ESM to learn more, so you can add a Lowe’s punch-out to your marketplace today.
