๐Ÿค–๐Ÿงพ Automate looking for price & stock discrepancies - e-CASS invoice reconciliation is now live!

Manual invoice reconciliation is too much of a pain.

Having to dig out old prices, scour paper invoices and figure out what item came from where & when - it takes too long to do, especially if you end up getting nothing back.

Our new tool will automatically upload & read invoices and then compare them to what you paid via e-CASS - then tell you if prices are wrong.

โŒ›Less time ordering = more services
"Itโ€™s difficult to survive in this market without servicesโ€. Thatโ€™s what Jitendra told us.

Profits used to come easier years ago - โ€œYou didnโ€™t have to spend much time sourcing drugs because the funding was there.โ€

That's far from the case now. You canโ€™t afford to pay more than the cheapest available - but Jitendra doesnโ€™t have time to do that all himself.

With so many suppliers, price tiers, clawback and everything else - ordering became more complex and made it feel like he was treading water but working so hard to do so.

It doesn't have to be like that - and that's why he joined Cambrian.

1. Because he has business managers like Ula & Charlie on hand. They help him understand his profits, and make suggestions about how he can order faster and more profitably.

2. And he has our platform e-CASS on hand to automate that for him. Clear pricing, flexible rules he can change and easy to use for all his team.

With the 45 mins+ a day he saves, they can now fill up their calendar with services and consultations - safe in the knowledge e-CASS will always buy the cheapest available medicine for them.

Waiting around for your accountant to tell you how profitable ordering is?
Then you're leaving money on the table every month.

Shortages, price changes, supplier pricing tiers. None of that waits around for a 6 monthly meeting.

Now John has regular chats with Richard, his business manager - he can "see the bigger picture" every single month.

Rich helps analyse what's going on in his profit report - and how he can tweak how e-CASS orders for him, saving money and time for his team.

Dispensary managers need more support.
Jo Shurety at Wickhambrook says "We don't stop. I donโ€™t think people outside understand the work that goes in. Finding stock, training staff, all the legal adherence, SOPs that need rewriting."

But without time, training or a real framework, things can fall down.

What more can teams & the NHS do? We spoke to Jo, Kirstye & Max for the latest Dispex Gazette - read the article there or below.

There's nothing worse than not having medicines exactly when you told patients you would.

John, owner of Focus Chemists, used to order on his old platform and "it told us we'd get it next day - but invariably we didn't."

"๐ˆ ๐๐จ๐ง'๐ญ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค '๐จ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ž ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง'"

It doesn't happen anymore.

Now he uses e-CASS, and he can tell patients "We'll have it in stock tomorrow".

โœ… It tells him if product is in stock with his mainline wholesaler, and if it is - he can tell the patient they can come back tomorrow to collect.

๐Ÿท๏ธ And because he can see pricing too, he has all the facts to make informed, profitable orders.
