Get started
  • “We’ve been paying for this wheelchair rental for six months. The resident went home in April.”

  • “Why aren’t there any gloves in this order?”

  • “The resident is staying another week. We need more ostomy supplies, fast.”

  • “I submitted the request four days ago. Still waiting to hear back.”

  • “I had no idea we were this far over budget.”

  • “Someone ordered 800 lbs of ground beef instead of 8!!!”

Sound familiar?

That’s where Agora comes in.

How it works

A facility manager placing an order on a tablet at a counter
  1. Orders & Rentals

    Your team submits order and rental requests through our intuitive platform. A pre-built catalog makes it simple, showing the most relevant products and rental vendors.

  2. Approvals

    Every request is reviewed by a purchaser dedicated to your facility. They either approve it or suggest a better alternative: better quality, better price, or both.

  3. Logistics

    We coordinate delivery and negotiate shipping schedules for orders and rentals. And when something is needed fast, our vendor relationships can often get you VIP service.

  4. Contracts

    Behind the scenes, we review your contracts and negotiate with vendors to ensure you’re always getting the best possible pricing and terms.

  5. Reporting

    Regular reports arrive in your inbox, showing exactly where your money is going. Scan the big-picture view, or drill down into every detail.

  6. Results

    With Agora behind your team, stress stays low, budget stays tight, and staff can invest more into resident relationships and care.

We see the bird’s-eye view and the details on the ground

Agora gives you a unique ability to be in control of both the big picture of your business and the tiny cogs in the wheels. Our granular knowledge of every product means we’ll advise you on small details like the size of incontinence wear, while our comprehensive reports and analytics provide an overview of your facility as a whole.

Trust us with the details. Step back to see the bigger picture.

With Agora at your side, you’ll like what you see

Satisfaction going up. Spend going down. Your numbers where they should be.

Let’s talk

Case Study #1

New owners, inherited problems

A group of facilities changed ownership after going through bankruptcy.

Under new ownership, the facilities needed food, supplies, and equipment to get the facilities running, but…

Vendors would not extend credit.

This is where relationships matter.

At Agora, we have built trust with vendors over time, so we were able to step in and help secure what the facilities needed to keep running right away.

We know the industry, understand how facilities operate, and have the credibility to make things happen even when things look impossible.

When conditions aren’t ideal, relationships make all the difference. The facilities got what they needed; residents never felt a thing.

Got milk?

Milk is on every order list, every week. It’s the type of basic item that rarely gets questioned.

Case Study #2

Got milk?

Milk is on every order list, every week. It’s the type of basic item that rarely gets questioned.

Yet when our team reviewed a client’s milk contract, we saw room for improvement. After direct negotiation with the vendor, we secured a 12% reduction per case of milk.

Multiply that by the number of cases per week, weeks per year, and facilities on that contract…the savings keep adding up!

One item, untold savings.

Case Study #3

Holiday shortages? Not here.

During a severe nationwide turkey shortage, our team worked hard to secure Thanksgiving supply across an entire multi-state network of facilities.

Our dietary purchasing team navigated supplier allocations, secured last-minute inventory, and coordinated deliveries across Georgia and North Carolina, with every facility covered on time.

The problem was nationwide. The solution was Agora.

Case Study #4

Starting fresh, on better terms

A newly transitioned facility in Texas came to Agora locked into an expensive transport contract.

We reviewed it and got to work.

With our long-standing vendor relationships and strong negotiation skills, we quickly exited the old agreement and secured a new transport contract for less than half the cost of the original.

Same service. Better terms. Significantly less spend.

With Agora, facilities start their next chapter on solid ground.

A facility needed to set up a new wing.

Not one or two items, but a full floor. They needed everything quoted, ordered, and shipped, fast.

Our team stepped in, taking care of everything, down to the last detail. Within 48 hours, we had every item lined up.

No back and forth. No delays.

With Agora on your team, it’s all smooth.

A utility cart stacked with folded linens in a bright facility corridor

A better product, at a third of the price

A facility submitted a request for a utility cart at $359. Rather than approving the order as submitted, our purchaser reviewed the request, identified a better alternative at $100, and sent it back for consideration.

Case Study #7

A better product, at a third of the price

A facility submitted a request for a utility cart at $359. Rather than approving the order as submitted, our purchaser reviewed the request, identified a better alternative at $100, and sent it back for consideration.

The facility preferred it. It was better quality, better fit, and a fraction of the cost.

A question or two, an alternative option, and $259 saved on a single order.

Case Study #8

PTAC panic prevented

A client contacted us at 11 a.m. They were about to go on bedhold although admissions were already lined up. The issue was straightforward: they needed PTAC units immediately.

Eleven units, ninety minutes, problem solved. Admissions continued as planned.
