Our Story

Twenty-plus years of procurement, built by people who lived it.

USA Buyers Marketplace is the procurement marketplace built for companies that move fast. Operated by International eProcurement, LLC — independent, privately held, and built for the long term.

Who We Are

An independent team that knows procurement.

USA Buyers Marketplace is built and operated by people with deep expertise in entrepreneurship, technology, and procurement. The team has spent twenty-plus years building procurement systems — first for one audience, now for businesses that need procurement to actually work.

We're independent and privately held. The same people who build the software answer the phone when you call. Procurement directors and CFOs at our buyer accounts get the same direct line as Fortune 100 customers.

It's an unusual setup for a procurement software company, and we think it shows up in the work.

Our Values

Six values, lived for 20+ years.

These have stayed exactly the same since we started building procurement software. They drive how we run the business today.

01

Customer service with integrity

We treat support like a relationship, not a ticket queue. When you call, you talk to someone who knows the software and your account.

02

Honesty

Straightforward answers about what the software does, what it doesn't, and what we're working on next. We don't oversell.

03

Courtesy

Every buyer, every vendor, every conversation. We treat people the way we'd want to be treated.

04

Under promise, over deliver

We'd rather quietly exceed expectations than market what we can't yet ship. Quality first, hype never.

05

Innovation

The software we built when we started wouldn't be enough for today. We keep investing in real improvements that make procurement easier for both sides.

06

Profitability

Sustainable economics is what lets us stay independent. It's a value, not just a metric.

Leadership

Larry has been an entrepreneur most of his career. He moved into video retail with Movie Warehouse, serving as President and CEO from 1986 to 1989, expanding the company to 12 corporate locations and 21 franchise stores.

In 1997 he co-founded PurchasePro.com, an e-commerce procurement company that went public in 1999. He served as Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing and led the Vendor Diversity Program before resigning in 2000.
