EXCITING NEWS!
Innovative is excited to announce that as of January 1, 2025, we are taking over the Volume Purchasing program from cmERDC. We’re honored to be your trusted partner, providing quality products and competitive pricing year-round.
Why the change? Since 2007, participation in cmERDC’s Volume Purchasing program has steadily declined, and this past year’s volume just covered fixed costs. cmERDC’s members have expressed a strong desire for their resources to be focused on core services like SMART Systems Finance, Payroll, Time Tracker, and Shared Accounting.
Many cmERDC members already work with us and value our flexibility, service, and competitive pricing. With this transition, you’ll gain even more options to tailor purchasing solutions that best fit your district.
Our team is here to ensure a smooth transition. We look forward to supporting you!
