Company Description
GPO Plus, Inc. (GPOX) is a specialty business services company in the industrials sector that describes itself as an AI-powered distributor focused on gas stations, convenience stores, and related retail channels. The company trades on the OTCQB market under the symbol GPOX and positions its business around a technology-driven Direct Store Delivery (DSD) model for product distribution.
According to multiple company press releases, GPO Plus, Inc. operates an AI-driven distribution network built around Regional Hubs and Mini Hubs. This hub structure is described as a way to optimize efficiency and maximize reach when servicing retail locations. The company states that its goal is "to build the largest nationwide DSD distribution company servicing gas stations, convenience stores, and beyond," and that it is working to consolidate a fragmented segment of the convenience-store supply chain that is handled by numerous regional vendors.
Business model and AI-driven distribution
GPOX characterizes itself as an "AI-powered Distributor" that uses proprietary technology to manage logistics and operations. At the center of this approach is its in-house AI technology platform, PRISM+. Based on the company’s descriptions, PRISM+ is designed to streamline the distribution process by supporting delivery, inventory management, data analytics, and overall operational functions. The platform is also referenced as an AI-driven logistics and inventory management system that helps with routing, forecasting, and inventory control across the company’s Mini Hub and Regional Hub network.
The company highlights a mission to consolidate what it describes as a fragmented market segment within the convenience-store industry, particularly categories that are often managed by many smaller regional vendors. GPOX states that it focuses on aligning its product selection with consumer demand and on working with vendors and brands that it characterizes as top tier. It also notes that it aims to maintain a portfolio that is diverse and designed to be highly profitable from a margin perspective.
Direct Store Delivery (DSD) and multi-channel sales
GPO Plus, Inc. emphasizes its technology-driven DSD model as a core part of its operations. In its public communications, the company describes using DSD to deliver products directly to gas stations, convenience stores, and other independent retailers. Alongside DSD, GPOX has outlined a multi-channel distribution strategy that includes:
- Field Operations & Retail Channel Engagement teams ("G-FORCE"), which are described as field-based sales teams intended to open new accounts, accelerate product placement, collect store-level data, and increase revenue.
- Call center operations based in Las Vegas, Nevada, designed to drive business-to-business (B2B) sales to independent retailers that may fall outside the traditional DSD footprint.
- The DISTRO+ Wholesale Portal, which the company describes as an online ordering platform supporting both DSD and "DISTRO+ Cash & Carry" locations.
- DISTRO+ Cash & Carry facilities, which are characterized as locations where retailers can access products in person under the company’s distribution model.
Through these channels, GPOX presents its strategy as a combination of in-person field sales, centralized call center outreach, and digital ordering, all integrated with its AI-powered logistics platform.
Technology platform: PRISM+ and AI integration
GPO Plus, Inc. repeatedly identifies PRISM+ as its in-house AI technology platform. Company materials describe PRISM+ as supporting efficient delivery, inventory management, data analytics, routing, forecasting, and inventory control. The platform is also referenced as powering the DISTRO+ Wholesale Portal, which provides retailers and independent sales organizations with access to inventory, pricing, and order management. The company states that it is strategically integrating AI across its operations to enhance productivity and support scalable distribution.
Infrastructure: Hubs, warehouses, and geographic focus
GPOX describes a physical infrastructure built around Regional Hubs and Mini Hubs. In its updates, the company notes climate-controlled warehouse upgrades in locations such as Lubbock, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada, which it associates with expanded product lines and increased capacity. It also references plans for Mini Hubs that can be upgraded to B2B cash and carry locations, and describes these facilities as part of a broader effort to convert warehouse infrastructure into profit centers under the "DISTRO+ Cash & Carry" concept.
The company’s communications frequently reference activity in Las Vegas, Nevada, including warehouse expansion, call center operations, and the deployment of its G-FORCE field team in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. These details indicate that Las Vegas is a key operational market for GPOX, alongside other regions connected through its hub network and partnerships.
Market focus and independent retailers
GPO Plus, Inc. states that it is targeting what it views as an overlooked portion of the U.S. convenience-store industry. In one press release, the company cites data about the number of convenience-store locations and notes that a large share are independently owned single-store operators. It describes focusing on lifestyle and specialty product categories that it says are often overlooked by major distributors and that represent a significant retail sales opportunity. Within this context, GPOX presents its AI-driven DSD model as a way to address supply chain challenges for independent retailers and to consolidate this segment of the market.
The company also describes working with private-label product lines and high-margin SKUs in its call center operations and broader distribution strategy. It presents these efforts as part of a focus on margin expansion and product mix optimization.
Partnerships and external relationships
In its public communications, GPO Plus, Inc. highlights a strategic partnership with SurgePays, Inc. (NASDAQ:SURG). The company states that this relationship is intended to integrate GPOX’s product catalog with SurgePays’ retail network and national sales force. GPOX characterizes this partnership as a capital-efficient way to expand its retail footprint and recurring revenue by reaching additional stores through an established network.
GPOX has also participated in investor-focused events and conferences. Press releases reference presentations at gatherings such as the Liberty Ventures Investor Summit in Chicago, the New York Principled Business Summit, and the Sequire Investor Summit in San Juan, Puerto Rico. These events are described as venues where the company discusses its growth strategy, milestones, and distribution model with investors and other stakeholders.
