More About CoVest

Founded on partnership, transparency and providing value-added services, we enable Members to realize significant cost savings through the utilization of our supplier agreements that drive down the total cost of ownership for indirect categories by leveraging the collective purchasing power of Member companies and best-in-class data analysis to minimize burden through the supply chain.

The premise that CoVest is built on is providing Members with an option to source their indirect categories with more attractive pricing, easy execution, data analysis support, ongoing category management, time reduction for their staff to focus on more difficult strategic categories, and a cost containment resource through the deployment of highly experienced operational consultants. The current Members have total annual revenue of over $700 billion and average $5-12 billion. Future expansion of indirect categories is driven by the needs of member firms and is decided at periodic member meetings. There are no upfront costs, long-term commitments or investments required to join CoVest.
