Case Study: Physicians Clinic of Iowa saves $50,000 in the first month with Hybrent

PCI considered hiring a full-time employee dedicated solely to supply chain activities. Hybrent solved their problem and saved them $50,000 the first month

Physicians Clinic of Iowa (PCI), one of the largest private multi-specialty physician groups in Iowa, was spending millions each month on supplies while its supply chain process remained highly manual and inefficient. Zach Grimm, Pavilion Services Director, was spending 75% of his time on supply chain tasks, and PCI lacked accurate reporting and visibility into purchasing, inventory, and vendor activity. Before hiring a full-time supply chain employee, PCI looked for a better way to manage ordering and spend.

PCI partnered with Hybrent, a healthcare-specific supply chain solution, to automate purchasing, receiving, invoicing, and reporting across the entire process. Implemented in under eight weeks, Hybrent gave PCI real-time visibility into orders, pricing, and fulfillment status, helping reduce over-ordering and improve inventory control. The results were immediate: PCI cut on-hand inventory in a single product category by more than $50,000 in the first month, while also freeing Zach to spend 75% of his time back on operational duties instead of supply chain management.
