About GPS: History and Today
History
"It's great to know that we can always rely on GPS for fast, reliable service. When we called on a Tuesday looking for flu vaccine, GPS was able to deliver a supply within 48 hours, enabling us to hold our Friday clinics, as planned. Thanks to everyone at GPS for your prompt, efficient response."

Global Pharmaceutical Sourcing was founded in July 2004 as a secondary pharmaceutical supplier concentrating on the hospital end user market.
During our first year, we developed an extensive database of all U.S. hospitals, affiliated organizations, and their key decision makers. We linked this database with a customized customer management software system that was interfaced with a voice over Internet protocol communication system - enabling our sales force to maximize their contacts with hospitals on a daily basis.
GPS Today
Today, GPS is making the transition from a secondary to a primary pharmaceutical supplier for hospitals.
Currently, primary pharmaceutical distributors provide about 85 percent of hospital pharmaceutical needs. GPS has determined that the time is right for a paradigm shift - particularly in the area of wholesale distribution.
Although we are a young company, the combined experience of our board and executives represents more than 50 years of healthcare expertise. This broad-based knowledge - along with our relationships with vendors, group purchasing organizations, and large pharmaceutical groups - gives GPS an industry edge in terms of insight into market trends.
We also have developed an extensive network of suppliers, enabling us to acquire many hard-to-find products and respond quickly and efficiently to our customers' needs. This direct relationship with manufacturers assures unmatched quality and service. And by outsourcing transportation, we can move products virtually any place in the country within two days at very competitive prices.
With hospitals signing on to our growing client base at a rate of 40 per month, GPS is positioning itself for explosive growth.
