HostGPO

HostGPO is an exclusive marketplace and group purchasing organization (GPO) catering to the vacation rental, short-term rental, and hospitality sectors. The company’s digital platform enables operators to obtain discounted goods and services while providing tools to simplify procurement and design procedures. HostGPO collaborates with a select group of furniture, appliances, and home goods suppliers to consolidate demand and connect them with customers in its specific target segments. 

The company claims that its furniture options come at a 30%–75% discount while guaranteeing that users save enough to offset their membership fees within the first year, promising to refund the difference if this isn't achieved. Additionally, members gain access to wholesale purchasing that is usually limited to large, multi-million dollar companies, along with benefits like faster shipping speeds and dedicated customer service representatives.

The company generates revenue via a subscription-based model, with prices ranging from USD 10–60 per month, alongside a custom subscription package for larger enterprises.
