Smarter Procurement,
Better Science.

Achieve your research goals faster with a customized, data-driven procurement strategy that puts your needs first – no brand bias, just results.

Supplier Network Sourcing

Empowering Labs and Simplifying Success

Labs often struggle with cost control, inventory management, and supplier pressures—but Marathon Pacer helps overcome these challenges through a strategic sourcing model.

By combining data analytics with procurement expertise, Marathon Pacer delivers products aligned with your goals—whether it’s cost savings, sustainability, product availability, or user preference. Leveraging strong supplier partnerships, we ensure you get what you need, when you need it.

Focused solely on your lab’s success—not supplier agendas—Marathon Pacer provides conflict-free sourcing for both essentials and hard-to-find items, integrating smoothly into your workflow to deliver real value.

Recommendations

Recommendations based on your needs and requests, not supplier incentives.

Pricing

No hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons – just honest cost management.

Strategies

Expertly negotiated contracts and centralized purchasing reduce transaction fees, ensuring every purchase delivers value.

Brand-Agnostic Procurement

Why Brand Agnosticism Matters in Lab Procurement

A brand-agnostic approach gives you access to trusted products and suppliers. Marathon Pacer sources any brand, so scientists can focus on research without compromise.

Unlike competitors pushing proprietary items, we prioritize your preferences—building trust and supporting innovation.

Cost-Saving Strategies

Marathon Pacer saves your lab money in three primary ways:
 

  1. Leveraging Partnerships: By maintaining strong relationships with manufacturers, MarathonLS secures competitive discounts and passes those savings directly to you.
  2. Bulk Purchases with Off-Site Storage: We optimize savings by buying in bulk when discounts are available and storing excess supplies in our local off-site facilities, eliminating on-site clutter while extending cost savings to you.
  3. Minimizing Transaction Fees: When purchasing is decentralized, transaction fees and duplicate orders add up quickly. By centralizing purchasing, transaction fees are minimized, and duplicate orders are eliminated.

Real Results with Strategic Procurement

The impact of Marathon Pacer’s strategic procurement is measurable and repeatable. Through smarter sourcing, labs see outcomes like:
 

  1. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Stockouts are eliminated and inventory levels are customized to workflows, based on data.
  2. Reliable Product Access: Proactive planning ensures crucial items are in stock when you need them, avoiding delays in critical research.
  3. Research Empowerment: Time is returned to scientists by offloading procurement responsibilities, enabling your team to focus on groundbreaking discoveries.
