Most comprehensive solution
for Healthcare
Our customers hold leading positions within the Healthcare business. Most of them faced common challenges before launching their digital transformation initiatives: the difficulty of managing a volatile order book in a heavily regulated industry with a large supplier base and lot-serial controlled items.
Non-digital
The level of non-digital documents is very high compared to other industries and sectors (considering that a PDF or an email is not a digital transaction document). This leads to higher administrative costs, error-prone processes, and extended lead times.
Unconfirmed orders
Even if order confirmations are received, there is not enough time to process them into the ERP system, leading to shortages, last-minute expediting against extra cost, or worse: re-planning appointments and loss of scarce operating theatre capacity.
Extra effort from MDR
Within our regulated environment the compliance challenges keep increasing and consuming resources. MDR regulations being rolled out are a good example, typically doubling the handling and administration costs of the associated articles.
Your priority comes first
Start improving on your biggest priority within 90 days
Whether your focus lies on improving order collaboration processes around procurement and contracts with suppliers, implementing lot-serial control at the item level for MDR items, or invoicing, with our apps we offer you a unique value proposition of having a cost-effective and modular solution with the flexibility to start your digital transformation project from any prioritized business need and further build upon that as priorities and maturity evolves over time.
Of course, you have your internal systems. Quyntess' supply chain apps can perfectly integrate with those, allowing you to fully automate your business processes directly from your backend systems to an entire ecosystem of global business partners, while already reaping savings and benefits within just a matter of weeks.
Fast and easy supplier onboarding
Typically you have a heterogeneous supply base consisting of huge international global players with local subsidiaries as well as small local suppliers. Your leverage as a customer on the large suppliers is limited because of the difference in scale. Your options with the small local suppliers are also limited because they are not very digitally mature. Through our international network, we can provide you with ready access to 170.000 connected suppliers and will provide managed onboarding for the remaining ones. Our collaboration tools and end-to-end capability to process all relevant aspects of the P2P through our platform will help you to scale and implement a cost-effective process.
Collaboration beyond the Order
The lack of structured feedback and response from suppliers makes it difficult to achieve an agile supply chain process. You are expected to provide items for mission-critical interventions with high medical stakes as well as human and physical resources such as operating theaters assigned to them. In the meantime, you need to save on process costs to manage the P2P process and deal with general staff shortages. Our apps allow you to control the SCM process by focusing on the exceptions only and dealing with all other steps beyond the Order: from sharing certificates and batch and lot serial control information to product master data updates, shipments, and invoices.
Visibility and supplier performance
You simply cannot afford to rely on good faith for such a large number of critical items from so many suppliers to come in smoothly. Having ‘control tower’ visibility on all your order, shipment, and inventory statuses, including the ones that are missing, and having real-time KPIs and active alerting on the exceptions is essential to control your operations and ensure patient care is available when it is needed. Our supply chain apps have built-in workflows, controls, and notifications that help you achieve this.
MDR Compliance
MDR compliance is gradually introduced for more item categories and requires you to control lot-serial traceability to your electronic patient files. Of course, you can scan or enter all this data upon goods receipt and record it and scan again when the item is despatched to the patient, but this is time-consuming and error-prone. We provide a proven solution that obtains this data electronically from your suppliers directly. This takes away all manual work and helps to prevent invoice exceptions on quantities at the same time.
Industry peers at a glance
The largest Healthcare organization in the world is the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. They used to process 30.000 invoices from suppliers and service providers daily in a semi-digital process, which resulted in large backlogs of processing documents and dissatisfied suppliers and end-users. After the introduction of the platform of 150.000 directly connected suppliers, the efficiency increased tremendously and the satisfaction of suppliers and end-users more than doubled.
Most selected apps in the Healthcare business
Supply Chain Apps that can meet any business priority without complicated "suite" deployments
We support you to consolidate your end-to-end supply chain processes, whether it starts with procurement, goods receiving, inventory, logistics, quality, or invoicing. It is all available for you in one single collaborative business network.
Because we incorporated the complexity in our application and integration data model, your teams and their business partners only have to navigate the intuitive user interface to manage their role in the supply chain. That means more real-time data, smarter performance indicators, better AI, and an increasingly resilient supply chain ecosystem.
Order Collaboration
Optimize collaboration around purchase orders and contracts taking into account volume and price breaks as well as price changes, delivery date, and quantity exceptions reported by the supplier. This process directly integrates into your back-end system. The (optional) full integration with the supplier's ERP system enables smooth data exchange and end-to-end monitoring, creates real-time transparency, and can be used to take corrective actions on exceptions that occur at the line level to ensure timely and efficient (re)planning.
Shipment Collaboration
With the Shipment Collaboration App, suppliers can easily build shipments from open Order Lines or Schedules and announce these to buyers as well as to a logistic service provider. This will include all required batch information and serial numbers and certificates at the SKU level, which avoids scanning of all items during your goods receipt process. Obviously, the functionality is also available via integration to and from their back-end systems.
Tradeshift Pay
The fundamental mission of Tradeshift PAY revolves around enhancing invoice acquisition and processing control, elevating approval or rejection visibility and payment status, and reducing costs of supplier invoices to this Accounts Payable Automation solution. PAY will check supplier invoices before they reach you for any issue the supplier should solve and guide them to resolve these first. PAY also ensures compliant e-Invoices and legal archiving requirements.
QIS 360° EDI
QIS is typically selected for the high-volume suppliers to the healthcare sectors or suppliers that in general get a lot of demand through our platform from different customers already. In a multi-standard, multi-industry, and multi-departmental world, our Integration Services connect your whole eco-system of suppliers and carriers. Our subscription-based SaaS model avoids one-off set-up costs, makes you pay only for success, and is flexible to cancel or exchange partners in line with supply base dynamics.
Product Data Management
The Product Data Management app synchronizes and updates item master data between your ERP system and your suppliers in a controlled manner. The app ensures that there are fewer issues with replacement items or equivalent items from a different supplier, and specification updates including certificates and other documents. This will lead to more no-touch orders with suppliers, less dead stock, or incorrectly ordered parts, and enable the controlled management of associated documents.
