We baseline spend against historical invoices and contracts, then report realized savings against that baseline with the client's finance team's sign-off. Every dollar of savings is traceable to a sourcing event, contract change, or process change.

Group APZ works with data center operators (colocation, wholesale, and hyperscale), AI labs and AI-native companies, and large enterprises with HPC, AI, and indirect procurement needs.

Accepted Answer

You can reach Group APZ by email at cole@groupapz.com or seena@groupapz.com, or via the contact form at /contact.

Question 11

Do you sell GPUs directly, or only advise on procurement?

Accepted Answer

Group APZ doesn't sell equipment. We work with you to set a mandate and its respective budget, then run the sourcing process on your behalf and purchase the requisite equipment.

Question 12

How do you avoid grey-market GPUs?

Accepted Answer

Every unit we supply is traceable to an authorized distributor or OEM, with serial-level documentation, valid OEM warranty registration, and import paperwork. We do not source from unauthorized resellers.

Question 13

Can you coordinate cabling and on-site commissioning?

Accepted Answer

We can coordinate with the cabling and commissioning crews chosen by the client or integrator. We do not perform on-site labor ourselves, but we partner with vetted integrators when clients need a single point of accountability.

Question 14

Do you offer fractional or interim CPO coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Group APZ provides interim and fractional procurement leadership — often during a search for a permanent hire or through a specific scale event — with weekly cadence with the executive team and ownership of live category work.

Question 15

What savings can Group APZ realistically deliver and how are they measured?

Accepted Answer

Our model combines a flat fee with a bonus only when we reduce expected costs. This means our wins come from tangible savings on your approved budgetary spend, tracked against final invoices — no divided interests, we make more when you spend less.
