EasiBuy LLC, a division of CoreTrust, announced today that Co-founder Ben Koberna will speak at the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP): The Institute for Public Procurement Forum 2022.
On Aug. 22, at 1:00 pm in The Innovation Theater, Koberna will present "Procurement Mind Training," an interactive program designed to help professionals hone the leadership skills necessary to navigate the procurement modernization journey.
Koberna has been shaping the nature of reverse auction practice in the government setting since 2007. He has designed and implemented reverse auction practices for some of the largest state and local governments across the country including City of Los Angeles, City of Chicago, the State of Michigan, and many others. Koberna also has a number of international accomplishments: he has assisted countries like Ecuador and Argentina in tackling procurement during a global pandemic, he taught a course on procurement in Jamaica for the Caribbean procurement Counsel, and consults to a number of other Caribbean countries. He is also a guest lecturer at the Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto.
EasiBuy will also be present throughout the event as an exhibitor and can be found at booth #625 in the event's Exhibit Hall. Forum 2022 will be held in Boston from Aug. 20-24 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
EasiBuy is a platform that serves government agencies by utilizing a reverse auction process to qualify suppliers based on unique requirements, and then hosts an online pricing event where eligible suppliers submit initial offers. Over the course of the live bidding period, suppliers can lower their offers to achieve a first-place position. The platform increases savings and competition for member agencies and the procurement process follows and adheres to all government rules and regulations.
Since it was founded, EasiBuy has managed in excess of $4.2B in government spend and has saved 22% on average for participating government agencies across all spend categories. In the first half of 2022, EasiBuy noted the following highlights as demonstration of the value they offer to government procurement programs:
"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to support state, county, and local government agencies establish procurement efficiencies, and realize significant cost savings in a highly transparent environment," said Koberna. "Many of our clients are utilizing the reverse auction process to both mitigate price increases and confirm that they are paying true market value for goods and services."

Headquartered in Kent, Ohio, EasiBuy is a trusted, full-service partner specializing in cooperative sourcing and managed procurement services for state and local government agencies. We pioneered the Lead Agency Procurement Organization (LAPO) bid process by integrating procurement expertise, analytics, scale, and technology to ensure a competitive, compliant, and fully transparent experience for buyers and sellers.
Through cooperative purchasing agreements, we enable state and local governments, education systems, nonprofit organizations, and other public entities to "piggyback" off existing Lead Agency agreements and achieve economies of scale they would not receive by contracting on their own.
