Dave, this is absolutely an insightful post. Particularly for myself in the health care industry yet being on the other end of the spectrum in the purchasing process.

My company supplies safety, health, & facility supplies at competitive prices to many hospitals and clinics with relatives requests for supplies and procedure kits. Too frequently we encounter situations of rush orders and product returns due to various discrepancies in the order process from clinics to hospitals.

I am almost certain that this compromises the quality of care they are able to provide with not having supplies readily available and physicians or clinicians wasting time returning supplies and trying to figure out the re-order status. This in effect reduces their overall efficiency with a goal on providing quality care.

To help our clinics and hospital clients surpass this hurdle, we are in the process of implementing and hosting a FREE e-Procurement solution as an added benefit to help them advance their business practices, increase efficiency, effectively manage inventory, and provide quality care knowing physicians and nurses are most comfortable with the right tools.

Thanks to Coupa we confidently anticipate bringing this feature to the offices of many hospitals and clinics. Also thank you Dave for the affirmation and I hope that many more in this industry will make efforts to improve their practices with e-Procurement as a primary focus.
