Reliable Solutions for PPE Shortage
G-Squared Group was formed in 2013 by retired healthcare executives to help healthcare systems manage crises and turnaround situations. Instead of merely assessing problems and providing necessary courses of action, G-Squared Group builds on organizational strengths, working side-by-side with senior leadership teams, boards of directors, and other key stakeholders to drive desired results.
The great increase in need for PPE caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has caused PPE shortages, posing a tremendous challenge to the US healthcare system, large businesses and major educational institutions. Supply chain executives are having difficulty accessing the inventory provided by their traditional group purchasing organizations. To help fill the additional need of PPE by these institutions G-Squared has re-operationalized partnerships with manufacturers and suppliers to provide PPE to those on the front lines.
G-Squared has secured relationships in a secondary market to help organizations back fill existing inventories by implementing strategies that include
1. Maintaining immediate inventory of essential PPE
2. Sourcing all secondary markets sites daily of product in production or in inventories in the USA
3. Negotiation of aggregate pricing based on volumes purchased for all of our customers collectively
G-Square’s optimization strategies for PPE offer a continuum of options for use when PPE supplies are stressed, running low, or exhausted. As PPE availability returns to normal, G-Squared Group will transition its business model into selling USA made PPE.
To date our purchase orders have ranged from 3-Ply masks, Surgical and Non-Surgical Isolations Gowns, N95 Respirators, and Disposable Gloves. We sell a wide variety of gowns, gloves, masks, sanitizer, and germicidal wipes. We have had success sourcing specialty items as well.
