CASE STUDY
www.surecost.com
We do over 1,500 prescriptions a day, and we get a lot of unusual requests. A patient
may have an infection and need that medicine today. If it wasn’t for SureCost, I’d have
to log in to ten different wholesalers, sit there, and look individually at each one to see if
they have it.”
Increasing Business Intelligence
Nic and his team rely on SureCost’s flexible reporting to enhance several areas of their
operations. As just one example, by using the purchase history, when Nic has to return
something, he doesn’t have to search through all his vendors to find where he last
ordered it. If he notices a drug price trending high, he can also easily look back to see
when he got a better price and from which vendor. And SureCost’s flexible reporting
allows the pharmacy to ensure compliance with their primary wholesaler, even as they
expand their purchasing options.
Achieving Immediate ROI With a Reliable Partner
Smith Pharmacy began seeing ROI with SureCost within a week of implementation.
Nic points out that it took two weeks to configure SureCost with his catalog of vendors,
internal systems and processes. Nic and his team worked closely with SureCost’s team,
whom he found “very responsive, and we bothered them a lot!”
In terms of how much SureCost has saved Smith Pharmacy, Nic has already done the
math: “About three years ago, we were debating switching to a different buying group.
It had better pricing than our current group but was more rigid in allowing us to buy
outside. We needed to know if the switch was worthwhile, so we did an analysis. It
turned out SureCost was saving us over $200,000 a year. And it’s probably closer to
$300,000 now.”
