Surgery: Forrest Medical Centre
Contact Name: Matthew Grant – Practice Manager
Saving: 32%
"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!" Matthew Grant
Background...
Medical Supermarket visited the Forrest Medical Centre to understand the customer’s buying habits including: how the orders are placed, the importance placed on branded products, the volume of orders and types of products purchased. Armed with this information and a selection of invoices, Medical Supermarket completed a full tender analysis to determine the savings opportunity available to the surgery. Medical Supermarket reviewed over 100 lines and compared like for like products and services. Within 5 working days, Medical Supermarket was available to present a saving of 32% across a range of categories including; stationery, housekeeping, medical supplies and pharmacy.
Implementation…
On approval of the savings, Medical Supermarket allocated each order placer within the surgery a user name and password. Telephone training sessions were then undertaken with these members of staff so they were familiar with the ways they can order. These sessions were also used to introduce the staff to their day to day contact. One member of staff preferred to order by fax, so Medical Supermarket designed a unique order form for her so that she could tick the quantity of the products she required and fax it to us instead.
Result…
The surgery now purchases all consumables from Medical Supermarket ensuring they save money across all categories as well as reducing the time they spend on ordering and processing invoices. As this surgery has used Medical Supermarket exclusively, they have been awarded with free delivery for every single order.
