We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between Leverage AI and Affiliated Distributors (AD), North America’s largest wholesale purchasing cooperative supporting independent distributors in the construction and industrial supply sectors.
Since 1981, AD has united over 1,400 independently-owned distributors with annual sales exceeding $100 billion. Their mission to help members and supplier partners grow and prosper through collaboration, financial services, and innovative solutions aligns perfectly with Leverage’s commitment to operational excellence and supplier performance.
“AD’s mission has always been to help independent distributors thrive. Partnering with Leverage AI gives our members access to world-class automation that solves real pain points in procurement and supplier management that's relevant now more than ever.”
— Kevin Druecker, Vice President of AD Member Programs, Affiliated Distributors
Through this partnership, AD members will be able gain access to Leverage AI’s PO automation and supply chain visibility platform, purpose-built for mid-market manufacturers and distributors. This partnership is designed to help eliminate manual supplier follow-up workflows, enhance supplier collaboration and visibility, and empower teams with supplier performance insights that drive real ROI.
“We built Leverage AI for operators— supply chain teams buried under manual processes who know there’s a better way. Working with AD lets us deliver on that promise at scale, with partners who truly understand the power of execution.”
— Nadav Ullman, CEO, Leverage AI
Together, Leverage and AD are committed to equipping independent distributors with modern tools to compete more effectively, operate more efficiently, and deliver long-term value to their customers and communities.
