Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) CoreTrust partners with HCM provider UKG.
The agreement gives 3,800+ CoreTrust members streamlined access to UKG's Workforce Operating Platform.
The platform unifies HR, payroll, workforce management, and AI agents into a single system.
Members gain benefits like exclusive pricing, streamlined implementation, and dedicated support.
The partnership aims to reduce procurement complexity and accelerate ROI for member organizations.
This adds a major HR/payroll option to CoreTrust's portfolio of pre-negotiated supplier contracts.
The core value of the partnership lies in simplifying and accelerating the procurement process for essential workforce software. By offering UKG's platform through a pre-negotiated GPO agreement, CoreTrust allows its member organizations—which include businesses and public sector agencies—to bypass lengthy vendor evaluation and onboarding cycles. This enables faster deployment and a quicker return on investment for a system that manages a critical business function.
UKG's Workforce Operating Platform provides an all-in-one solution that consolidates traditionally separate systems for HR, payroll, and workforce scheduling. It leverages AI and the company's extensive workforce dataset to deliver insights and guide employee experiences. For frontline and deskless workers, this can mean a more unified interface for tasks like checking schedules, viewing pay stubs, and accessing HR services.
Leadership from both companies highlighted the strategic fit. CoreTrust CEO James Hallock stated the partnership helps members "reduce operational complexity, streamline procurement, and shift focus toward strategic enablement." UKG's Chief Partner Officer, Jay Dettling, emphasized the goal of making it "simpler for CoreTrust members to choose, deploy, and start experiencing the benefits" of the platform to turn their frontline workforce into a competitive advantage.
The partnership between CoreTrust and UKG represents a strategic supply chain innovation for human resources technology. By leveraging the collective purchasing power and streamlined contracting of a GPO, thousands of organizations can more efficiently access enterprise-grade HCM tools. This model lowers the barrier to adopting sophisticated, AI-enabled platforms that can improve workforce productivity, employee experience, and data-driven decision-making.
