Mike Stanley's GroupUps Experience

FAQ

What kind of dental equipment can GroupUps help with?

GroupUps primarily focuses on larger equipment purchases like CBCTs, intraoral scanners, and other digital imaging equipment, and complete office buildouts. We also periodically have deals or group purchase opportunities on smaller equipment such as handheld x-rays, sensors, 3D printers, or autoclaves.

What's the process for working with GroupUps on my equipment purchases?

Once you’ve identified the equipment you need, we handle the negotiations with sellers, using data, our relationships, and group buying power to secure better pricing. You buy the equipment directly from the seller, and pay us a percentage of the savings, ensuring our goals align with yours.

Am I buying the equipment from GroupUps?

GroupUps doesn’t actually sell equipment. Instead, we negotiate pricing on your behalf with authorized sellers. You still buy the equipment directly from the seller, who also handles installation, service, and warranty.

How does installation, service, and warranty work?

Installation, service, and warranty are still provided by the seller selected to fulfill the orders.

Can I use GroupUps if I already have distributor relationships?

Absolutely! We work with distributors all the time! We recommend contacting GroupUps before requesting quotes, so that we can assist and support you in getting fair quotes from our trusted distributor partners.

I'm starting a new practice or expanding a practice. When should I contact GroupUps?

Most doctors connect with us at least 12 months before their target open date, but the sooner the better! We can help you save on YOUR schedule. We work directly with startup practices and expanding practices to ensure your large equipment purchases are timed right based on your target open date, buildout schedule, permitting timelines, and more, and we typically help you save tens of thousands of dollars in the process.

Does GroupUps only work with certain brands?

No, we can work with any brand because GroupUps is brand agnostic. We’re not the seller so we’re not limited to a specific set of brands; instead we help you get better pricing on the equipment that make the most sense for your practice.

Can I use GroupUps if I need financing?

Yes! You can work with your current financing partner or we can introduce you to financing partners if you don’t already have one.

How do you make money?

Doctors pay a one-time $250 fee to get started, and most doctors choose to buy from our partner distributors, who cover all of our other fees. Doctors who buy elsewhere do cover our negotiation fee, which is 30% of what we’re able to save you. (That means we’d make money when you save money).

Thanks, GroupUps! This is amazing!

That’s not a question, but you’re welcome! Tell your doctor friends so you can all save more together.
