Redefining Procurement as a Service with Partnership and Technology

What is Procurement as a Service?

Procurement as a Service (PaaS) is a strategic approach to managing a company’s procurement needs. This strategy involves expanding various aspects of the process to a specialized service provider like Direct Supply® DSSI™. This concept encompasses a range of related activities, such as supplier management, order processing, data analytics, and cost optimization.

Healthcare providers can benefit a lot from procurement as a service. By partnering with experts like Direct Supply DSSI, they can simplify their purchasing processes. Additionally, they get expert help with sourcing and managing supplies.

The primary goal of PaaS is to relieve the administrative burden associated with procurement. Organizations using PaaS can focus on their core competencies and strategic initiatives. It offers companies the flexibility to scale their capabilities up or down as needed.

Healthcare providers using PaaS focus more on resident and patient care and less on the hassles of procurement. Providers can save money through better-negotiated prices and smarter purchasing strategies. PaaS also offers flexibility, allowing facilities to quickly adjust to changing needs.

With PaaS, there is no longer a need for substantial investments in infrastructure and personnel to support procurement. Healthcare providers can improve cost control, resource management, and the overall quality of care they deliver.
