Making procurement easy to save you time and worry

Jeremy Macdonald, the go-to expert for sourcing local

With years of experience in procurement and facilities management, Macdonald is passionate about Source AZ. He says sourcing locally can save your company money, reduce your carbon footprint, support local jobs and demonstrate your company’s social responsibility.

“What really excites me about the concept is we all want to support local businesses but typically we default to what’s easy,” like ordering from a giant like Amazon, Macdonald said. Source AZ makes ordering just as easy while supporting local businesses at the same time.

“It really feels like everyone can win,” Macdonald said.

Local suppliers available through Source AZ have been vetted for quality, reliability and customer service. 

Examples include:

“You have someone nearby and you can see each other face to face and solve problems,” MacDonald said. “You don’t get that from a customer service hotline. It’s better for business.”

Lower costs and bigger impact

Source AZ vendors often offer lower prices too.

For example, CopperPoint Mutual used Source AZ and saved 1% on their total budget by purchasing goods and services from other Arizona companies. 

They also landed 12 glowing media spotlights for their efforts and now indirectly support an estimated 3,600 Arizona jobs.

Every $100 million they spend has a $500 million multiplier effect on Arizona’s economy.

“Our communities are a lot stronger when we do business together,” Macdonald said.

“I want the cool and unique things of Arizona to be discovered and loved by everyone that lives here,” Macdonald said. “And Local First can facilitate locals finding locals.”
