The Challenge

Dr. Dental is a dental service organization based in Massachusetts, operating 40 locations across Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and New Jersey. Despite their scale, they had become complacent with a single consolidated supplier and had never run a robust pricing analysis.

The result was an inconsistent procurement process with no real-time visibility into spend across locations and no leverage to negotiate better terms.

The SourceClub Approach

1

Distributor RFP

SourceClub put Dr. Dental's supply spend out to bid across all major dental distributors. By creating competitive pressure, they secured significantly better pricing while allowing Dr. Dental to stay with their existing preferred supplier.

2

Procurement Software

A single sign-on procurement platform was implemented across all 40 locations, giving leadership real-time visibility into spend, budget tracking, and invoice management for the first time.

3

Product Formulary Audit

SourceClub conducted a full product audit, identifying and removing 525 redundant non-clinical items from the formulary. Consolidating the approved product list reduced complexity and further reduced per-unit costs.
