At Procure Analytics, we are passionate about driving continuous value by utilizing cutting-edge technology and implementing customized solutions in MRO, Packaging, and Freight to service our 1000 member companies. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Procure Analytics is the leading tech-enabled group purchasing organization for MRO and Packaging, leveraging $2.5B in buying power to achieve up-front and ongoing savings for member companies.

The PA team serves as an extension of our member organizations, leading change management, driving adoption, and increasing compliance at member locations, while providing analytical tools, savings reporting, and buyer training to drive continuous value growth for mid-size to Fortune 500 companies.

Based in San Francisco, Genstar has developed a strong market reputation of working in partnership with management teams and its network of strategic advisors to build industry-leading businesses while generating outsized returns. Genstar’s vision is to help build lasting, impactful companies that will continue to succeed well beyond their ownership.

Genstar currently has approximately $33 billion of assets under management and targets investments focused on targeted segments of the software, industrials, healthcare, and financial services industries.
