How East Thurrock Medical Centre saved 23% on its supplies
East Thurrock Medical Centre moved its stationery, housekeeping, medical and pharmacy supplies to Medical Supermarket. Here’s how we found the saving, and what Marilyn thinks of working with us.
What Marilyn says
“Getting started was really straight-forward and there was help and support along the way. All of the items that we regularly order have been cheaper than the best price we found ourselves previously, items that I could not see on the web site were added the same morning after requesting a quote, and the one time I did have a cheaper option from another provider, I spoke with Medical Supermarket and they came back with a better price once again!”
From first visit to 23% saving
Background
We visited East Thurrock Medical Centre to understand how the practice buys:
- How orders are placed
- Which brands matter
- How much they order, and what
The review
Using a selection of invoices, we compared over 100 product lines like for like.
Within 5 working days we showed a 23% saving across stationery, housekeeping, medical supplies and pharmacy.
The result
Everyone who orders got their own login, phone training and a named day-to-day contact.
- They now buy all their consumables from us, saving money in every category.
- Less time spent ordering and processing invoices.
- Free delivery on every order, as a customer who buys everything from us.
