iGPS is plastic-only. USP quotes plastic AND wood AND custom on the same PO.

USP under-2-hour quote vs iGPS' contract-negotiation cycle.
USP will buy back your plastic pallets. iGPS' model doesn't allow that (they own the pool).
Read the migration playbook at /switch-to-usp/from-igps/ - covers cost modeling, transition timeline, documentation, and how USP handles buy-back on your excess iGPS inventory.
USP wins when you value operator-owned decision speed, mixed product mix (new + recycled + custom + plastic on one PO), and quote turn under 2 hours. iGPS wins for buyers already invested in iGPS's specific model. The right answer depends on your vertical, geography, and whether you want to own or rent pallets.
USP quotes competitively against iGPS on comparable products. For pooled programs, direct comparison doesn't apply since USP sells rather than rents. For outright-purchase comparisons, USP's national vendor pool typically comes in within 3-8% of the largest competitors, and often beats them on lead time and multi-location roll-up.
Typical timeline is 7-14 days. First quote arrives under 2 hours. Onboarding covers spec confirmation, delivery scheduling, and (if applicable) buy-back of your excess iGPS inventory. See /switch-to-usp/from-igps/ for the migration playbook.
