New Zealand's retirement villages are home to more than 50,000 residents across over 38,500 homes, and the sector keeps growing. The Retirement Villages Association (RVA) represents around 96% of those villages, from the country's largest operators to single sites. Eversource has joined the RVA, and we are pleased to be part of the network supporting this sector.
Running a village, or a group of villages, means buying across an enormous range: catering, cleaning, maintenance, landscaping, medical and care supplies, uniforms and more. Spread that across multiple sites and a long list of suppliers, and the cost of getting it wrong adds up quickly, in both money and time.
Eversource is a centralised eProcurement Marketplace built for exactly this kind of multi-site organisation. It brings every supplier and every category into one place, configured to your brand and your workflows. Your suppliers. Your way. Amplified by AI.
The RVA describes the value of membership in terms of visibility and credibility. That sits well with us, because visibility is where Eversource starts too. Gain visibility: see spend across every village, down to product level. Buy better: collective buying power and live price comparisons turn into significant savings through supplier product selection. Reduce admin: automated workflows and 100% invoice processing with automated matching give time back to the people running your villages.
A retirement village is judged on the quality of life it gives residents. The less time your teams spend chasing orders and invoices, the more they have for that. We joined the RVA to get closer to the operators shaping this sector, and we would love to show you what better procurement could look like across your villages.
