Business Benefits for Healthcare Organizations 

SciQuest's expertise in research and healthcare makes our procurement automation solution perfect for research hospitals, research institutes, ambulatory surgical centers, cancer centers, and more. Now you can streamline your comprehensive procurement process for more strategic spend management.

Provide ample supplier catalogs

Giving users a wealth of supplier content encourages them to use your procurement system, which is critical to bringing spend under management and having visibility into your procurement efforts. SciQuest offers a rich variety of supplier catalogs, with both hosted and punch-out access. Besides our robust scientific category, you'll find Med/Surg, diagnostic, lab equipment, office, MRO, computer/IT, manufacturing, publications, food service and other categories to choose from through the SciQuest Supplier Network. When you need to add new suppliers, you can count on SciQuest's supplier enablement tools and services to rapidly make pricing, local inventory and any non-network suppliers available to your users.

Boost on-contract spending

Smart procurement means you need to change not only how employees buy, but what they buy. SciQuest can help you measurably strengthen contract compliance by ensuring user adoption and integrating negotiated purchasing agreements. Because our shopping interface works much like the consumer online shopping they're already familiar with, users are happy to use it. You can elevate your preferred suppliers and best buys. End users will like the ability to search and select goods with full product details and real-time price and availability. Plus, tools such as side-by-side product comparisons make decision-making easier.

Think electronic for procurement processes

Automate your procurement functions and watch your order processing cycles dramatically decrease and your customer satisfaction increase. Requisitions are created then routed electronically for approval. Suppliers can receive electronic orders and send status updates to be accessed by end users. Procurement professionals can track the orders and reconcile invoices against purchase orders and receipts.

Make reconciliation hassle-free

Settlement is critical but can require time-consuming documentation and invoice matching. Now your Receiving personnel and requestors electronically link the received goods and services to the original order. Accounts Payable completes the reconciliation process by matching invoices with receipts and/or orders. Enabling electronic invoices also streamlines reconciliation. With the time you save, you can take advantage of early payment discounts.

Capture new opportunities to save

A critical look at your spending - at the supplier, commodity and requisitioner levels - can give you valuable visibility into corporate spending. All SciQuest solutions offer Business Intelligence reports, including line-item data for custom analysis. So you'll gain a greater understanding of spending patterns, user and supplier compliance, and savings opportunities.
