Case Study: American SurgiSite streamlines purchasing and inventory management with Hybrent

A Case for Change in Non-acute Materials Management

American SurgiSite, a leader in ophthalmic ambulatory surgery center consulting and management, struggled with a manual procurement process across its network of surgery centers. Clinical staff used Excel spreadsheets to request supplies, while the central purchasing team had to review orders, compare vendors, and manage duplicate data entry, making it difficult to control costs, maintain formulary compliance, and keep inventory organized. The company also needed a solution that could integrate with Sage accounting.

Hybrent provided the materials management and purchasing platform American SurgiSite needed, with mobile ordering, vendor price comparison, inventory tracking, receiving, and accounting integration. With Hybrent, centers could create purchase orders directly, order more frequently in smaller quantities, and manage inventory in real time. The results included cutting daily PO processing time from 8 hours to 4 hours or less, significantly reducing overstock and inventory variance, improving cycle count accuracy, and giving the team better visibility into spend and supply usage.
