How Does a Dental GPO Work?
Turn Your Dental Practice Into a Profit Machine
How Reliant's Dental Group Purchasing Organization Works
3 Simple Steps to Savings. We don’t just help you save money.
The Engine That Unlocks Every Reliant Discount
Method is our exclusive procurement, inventory, and accounts payable platform built to connect directly with our network of suppliers and manufacturers so every negotiated Reliant discount flows automatically into your practice at the point of purchase.
Method + Reliant is a true partnership. Method brings best in class procurement technology, and Reliant brings the exclusive, specially negotiated contracts with dozens of suppliers and manufacturers. Together, they turn GPO pricing into real, measurable savings on every order with a typical practice saving over $20,000 per location, per year.
Method + Reliant Benefits at a Glance
"In our first full month with Method, we saved over one thousand dollars at just one of our practices. Multiply that by 12 months, and those are impressive savings that directly improve our bottom line." Dr. Nathan Kupperman, Founder, NAK Dental Group

Manual & Time Consuming
Ordering from multiple vendors takes time and pulls you away from patients.
Missed Savings Opportunities

No Financial Insights
You lack the data and benchmarks to make confident business decisions.

Getting started is simple. We’ll review your current purchasing and practice expenses to identify where you may be overpaying. Having recent supply and lab invoices, your current vendor information, and a basic overview of your practice helps us provide a more accurate savings analysis. From there, your Reliant specialist will guide you through the next steps.
Onboarding is designed to be quick and straightforward. We start with a short onboarding call to understand your practice, connect the necessary information, and set up access to Method. Once activated, you can begin comparing pricing and identifying savings opportunities within days.
Method is designed to simplify purchasing rather than add complexity to your team’s workflow. Your dedicated Reliant specialist provides onboarding and training so the appropriate team members know how to compare vendors, place orders, monitor inventory, and use reporting tools. Ongoing support is also available as your practice grows.
Reliant is built around flexibility, with no long-term contracts. If the service is no longer the right fit for your practice, your Reliant specialist can guide you through the cancellation process and any necessary account steps. You remain in control of your practice, vendors, and purchasing decisions.
No. Method is a procurement, inventory, and accounts-payable platform, not a replacement for your practice-management or clinical software. It works as the purchasing layer of your practice, helping you compare supplier pricing, access Reliant-negotiated discounts, manage inventory, automate accounts payable, and gain better visibility into spending.
