Lodging operators: Increase savings on Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

The right GPO can help you with all of your FF&E purchasing decisions.

While Entegra may be the largest food GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) in the world with over $36 billion in buying power, our reach as a GPO extends beyond food to everything a lodging operator needs, including FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment). From in-room desks & chairs to bespoke decor, Entegra partners with clients on every purchasing decision.

Why FF&E is important

Wear and tear is inevitable. Everything your guests see should be in line with the high quality your brand represents. Having reliable suppliers readily available — at significant savings — ensures brand consistency and quality remains front and center.

Keeping lodging PIP (Property Improvement Plan) and capital improvements on budget

With FF&E as one of the largest lodging budget price tags, lodging operators can’t afford to make poor purchasing decisions. Add fluctuating interest rates into the mix and every purchasing dollar matters. Cost-efficient FF&E is critical to efficiently manage tight PIP and CapEx budgets.

Protecting investments with quality products and suppliers

Built-to-last, quality-made FF&E is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring positive ROI.

With Entegra’s Local and Direct Savings program, hospitality operators enjoy savings from contracted suppliers and vendors outside of prime distribution, which includes Direct Store Delivery (DSD) from regional- and national-level partners.
