SPS PoolCare has launched BlueWave Advantage, a group purchasing organization designed specifically for pool service companies. BlueWave Advantage combines the buying power of pool service companies nationwide, including SPS PoolCare, to secure better prices, terms, and rebates on products and supplies they use to service customer pools every day.
BlueWave Advantage addresses the ongoing challenge pool service companies face with rising operational costs and supply chain pressures. The organization provides members access to competitive pricing on everyday essentials including chemicals, equipment, and parts while maintaining complete business independence. Pool companies that are members retain full control over purchasing decisions while benefiting from enhanced pricing power through collective negotiation.
"BlueWave Advantage represents our commitment to supporting the entire pool service industry, not just our own operations," says Lance Martin, CEO of SPS PoolCare. "By leveraging our scale and relationships with suppliers, we can help pool companies across the country improve their margins and operational efficiency without sacrificing their independence, strengthening the entire pool service sector."
In addition, BlueWave Advantage has partnered with Heritage Pool Supply Group for efficient product availability and streamlined fulfillment. According to the company, members benefit from simplified purchasing processes, standardized supplier relationships, and consolidated billing that reduces administrative burden. The program was created by pool care professionals who understand the unique operational challenges facing pool service companies industry-wide, no matter their size or operation tenure.
"Pool service companies work hard to build their businesses and serve their customers, but they shouldn't have to struggle with supply costs that eat into their profits," saysTom Patterson, BlueWave Advantage general manager. "This partnership gives independent pool service operators of all sizes an opportunity to become more competitive through eduction, business resources, preferred service partners, and enterprise-level buying power, creating a more level playing field across the industry."
BlueWave Advantage supports pool service companies throughout their business lifecycle, from startups seeking competitive advantages to established operators exploring growth strategies. The organization says it maintains relationships with leading pool industry suppliers to deliver discounts and rebates that directly impact member bottom lines. Every percentage point saved on materials and logistics translates to improved profit margins without burdening customers with price increases.
