Company Summary

Demand Pooling's (DEPO's) initial target market is the $450 b state and local gov't (SLG) annual purchases of capex and commodities, among the most underserved markets. Most SLGs are suffering historically high and mounting budget deficits in the face of "balanced budget" requirements and can no longer raise taxes, curtail services or cut staffing. DEPO tools enable them to leverage their collective buying power and save significantly.
