How Batheaston Medical Centre saved 26% on its supplies
Batheaston Medical Centre moved its stationery, housekeeping, medical and pharmacy supplies to Medical Supermarket. Here’s how we found the saving, and what Heather thinks of working with us.
What Heather says
“Since moving to Medical Supermarket our Practice has saved both time and money. We now have a one-stop, easy access procurement system via both internet and telephone and a vast reduction in numbers of invoices and payments. Cost comparisons are good and we have found that staff at the Company are always willing to go the extra mile in seeking best deals on any new purchase needs we identify. Currently we order consumables, stationery, equipment, utilities and insurance all at one place. All have been delivered on time, with most routine items ordered before 12 noon arriving the next day. We are very happy indeed with the current service”
From first visit to 26% saving
Background
We visited Batheaston 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 26% 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.
