WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Advancea, LLC announced today the acquisition of Minnesota based Business AdvantEdge Inc. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Established in 1999, Business AdvantEdge was originally formed to serve trade associations and their members as a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO). Today, Business AdvantEdge, along with its industry partners, serves tens of thousands of SMB entities and has greatly expanded its affinity programs in scale and diversity. Fortune 500 suppliers and other key business partners recognize that the GPO model allows them cost-effective access to a broad base of small-to-medium customers, translating into volume discounts and other valuable benefits for members.

Mary Hazzard, President of Business AdvantEdge, will work closely with the Advancea management team to ensure a seamless transition.

“Advancea and its team bring a new level of technology that will support our customers and vendors, in addition to other solutions that are cutting edge. We are thrilled to see what synergies develop as a result!”
