Grapevine Technologies offers a free digital vendor network and e-commerce style purchasing platform that aggregates inventory directly from hundreds of importers and manufacturers, enabling healthcare buyers to source, purchase, and pay in a few clicks. The product automates services traditional distributors provide, removing overhead and enabling prices the company says can be up to 84% cheaper than traditional distributors (example: nitrile exam gloves offered at about $2/box versus $15/box; roughly $0.02 versus $0.14 per glove). The platform launched its vendor network in January 2023 and the company moved development to an agile cadence in February 2023 with frequent user-facing releases. Grapevine traces its origins to Pandemic Relief Supply and its initial data work cross‑analyzing FDA and U.S. Customs datasets to identify “first inventorizers.” The company reports customers commonly realize ~50–60% savings on supply spend and up to 90% reductions in ordering time. After an April 2022 fundraise the team scaled rapidly to about 13 employees. Future goals include cutting national average medical‑supply spend by 50%, reducing overstock and waste, and building supply chains optimized for efficiency and resiliency.
