SET OUT ON A BETTER BUYING PATH
WITH PURCHASING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
SureCost Purchase ManagerTM unifies pharmacy purchasing and inventory, so you can optimize your buying decisions and discover money-saving opportunities using your entire vendor and wholesaler catalogue. Our software works with all major wholesalers—as well as with the vast majority of secondary providers, GPOs and other pharmaceutical sources. It increases time and money savings by allowing your pharmacy to:
CONTROL SOURCING
The option to purchase from your primary vendor and from secondary vendors yields enhanced visibility into more favorable prices—in turn cutting costs.
STAY COMPLIANT
Drive compliance with contracts and agreements using the Primary Vendor Assurance Tool. Harness DSCSA capabilities to access audit data in minutes and maintain DSCSA compliance.
STOP SHOPPING AROUND
View all of your vendors’ pricing in one place. No more wasting time price-shopping and looking through multiple platforms and catalogs.
ENSURE BEST PRICE
Only pay “agreed-upon” prices for products received, track vendor discrepancies at each purchasing stage, pinpoint the cost of vendor substitutions and avoid paying more for substituted items.
GET A CLEAR PRICING PICTURE
Know exactly what you’re paying for up front. The product pricing displayed on our platform includes rebates and marketshare rebates alike, so that you maximize your rebate program. Identify additional savings opportunities, like lower prices available from secondary vendors.
LEVERAGE INTERNAL AUDITING
Confirm your staff purchases items based on vendor and DSCSA compliance, rebates and the like. Identify instances where a user has opted out of a SureCost-recommended item, why and the costs subsequently incurred.
ONE PLATFORM, ALL PURCHASING PROCESSES, NO DISRUPTIONS.
Harness a single platform for submitting and tracking purchase orders—including any external purchase orders initiated outside the solution.
MANAGEMENT MADE SIMPLE.
Manage items by product group for easy transition between “comparables”—like drug equivalents in different strengths or package sizes or from different vendors.
GOODBYE, PAPER CHASE.
Eliminate paper and manual invoice verification processes through easy integration with your current pharmacy management and accounts payable systems.
