Ensuring your procurement is the picture of health
Why Unite is the perfect prescription for your procurement processes
In healthcare, efficient procurement ensures the smooth operation of essential services that impact lives. Navigating this critical complexity is challenging, especially with staff shortages and a lack of strategic procurement expertise exacerbating the situation. Yet, in this demanding environment, timely access to supplies is crucial.
Efficient procurement addresses backorders, diverse demands, and cost streamlining, keeping healthcare machinery running smoothly for timely patient care without delays.
For the University Hospital Magdeburg, the Mercateo Marketplace from Unite enables us to easily search for items, accelerate our purchasing processes, and choose from an impressive variety of products – everything needed to be able to offer the best coverage of goods.
