IndEx - Industry Exchange Group

One new focus of the National Service Cooperative (NSC) is to develop a system to better promote its vendor partners through our established network of service providers. As a result of this new focus, we have initiated the creation of the Industry Exchange Group (IndEx). The IndEx group’s sole purpose is to promote vendor services to our membership and to enhance the sales opportunities for our vendor partners. Utilizing the aggregate purchasing power of our membership along with ethically based business practices will help initiate a high demand for vendor products and services. At this time, there is a huge need in our industry for this type of service. The IndEx membership is seeking a means to control their costs by lowering their cost of doing business. It is very important that the vendors bond together to form this entity that will ultimately create a solution that will be in the best interest of each and every vendor.

IndEx is not a trade association. It is a subsidiary of the NSC which is a cooperative owned and operated by independent service providers. As such, they take a very active role in their investment. Similar to the many cooperatives in the marketplace today (food coops, farmers’ coops, etc.) mandates and controls are in place to provide group purchasing programs and to guarantee vendors a firm commitment.
