SAGE × PromoEQP.
PromoEQP has committed itself singularly to a strategic partnership with SAGE — the industry's most widely used product-research, order, and CRM platform. The two systems are wired together so distributors can run on a single toolchain without giving up unbundled supplier pricing.
You don't need to use SAGE to participate in PromoEQP. It simply means enhanced benefits — and a noticeably shorter path from quote to PO — for distributors who do.
A single, deep integration beats four shallow ones.
Most distributor benefit programs spread themselves thin — a few features here, a logo placement there, no real wiring underneath. PromoEQP took the opposite bet. By choosing SAGE as the single strategic partner, every integration goes deeper: the supplier list, the price files, the preference groups, the policies, and the web order path all live in one place a distributor already opens every morning.
The result is fewer windows to manage, fewer logins to maintain, and fewer reasons to leave the system you trained your team on.
Four points of contact.
Preference group integration
Every strategic supplier on PromoEQP shows up inside SAGE preference groups, ranked the way the network ranks them — so your team's product searches surface the right partner first, without anyone hand-editing a list.
Policy integration
Net pricing, freight policy, sample policy, EQP eligibility — the rules each supplier has agreed to are reflected in SAGE the way the supplier publishes them, not a stale snapshot. No more checking three places to confirm a quote.
Order & web integration
SAGE Order and SAGE Web are wired to PromoEQP's supplier endpoints. Send a PO, post a product, push a presentation — the network's pricing and supplier metadata travel with it. No copy-paste, no parallel spreadsheets.
Cost savings on the toolchain
PromoEQP distributors qualify for negotiated terms on SAGE itself — so the platform that hosts the integration is also one of the lines on your invoice that gets shorter when you join the network.
What it changes day-to-day.
- › Search is sharper. Strategic suppliers float to the top of preference results — not because of a paid placement, but because the network has explicitly ranked them.
- › Quoting is faster. Net pricing and EQP rules are visible at the product level. The "is this the real number?" step goes away.
- › POs flow. Orders sent through SAGE Order land at suppliers tagged correctly as PromoEQP, so credit on the back end doesn't depend on a phone call.
- › No SAGE? Still in. Distributors who use ESP, Distributor Central, or no platform at all get the same supplier access through the PromoEQP dashboard.

The integration is the wiring. The supplier roster is the payoff — the partners whose pricing, policy, and order paths are now one click away from your SAGE session.
