Case Study: Platinum Dermatology achieves near‑100% spend and inventory visibility and immediate savings with Coupa Software

Platinum Dermatology Smooths Out Its Purchasing Process

Platinum Dermatology Partners is a rapidly growing, private‑equity–backed network of 33 dermatology clinics and associated labs in Texas and Arizona where physicians retain ownership and operational autonomy. That structure led to fragmented purchasing—about half of purchases went through Oracle and the rest were ad hoc buys by individual practices—leaving the company with little approval control, significant inventory shrinkage, and limited visibility into spend. Jill Myrick, Director of Inventory Controls and Facilities, was hired to standardize processes, cut costs, and improve supply chain visibility.

After evaluating several platforms, Platinum selected Coupa and rolled it out in phases starting with a highly engaged pilot site. The Coupa implementation delivered near‑100% visibility into spend and inventory, faster ordering via searchable lowest‑price items, operational time savings, and immediate cost control; Platinum projects more than $100K in early savings with the potential to reach into the hundreds of thousands as more locations go live.
