Case Study: Intercoastal Medical Center achieves greater spend control and lower supply costs with Hybrent

Supply Costs Plunge With More Control Over Purchasing

Intercoastal Medical Center, a 10-location healthcare organization serving the Bradenton and Sarasota areas, was managing a purchasing process that was partly centralized and partly decentralized. Purchasing Manager Lisa Nieves wanted a single portal to replace the need to go to each vendor’s individual site while maintaining oversight across ordering, approvals, and multiple facilities.

Hybrent provided the purchasing system, integrating with Sage 100 and supporting 3-way matching. Intercoastal set up approved items, contracted costs, and clearer ordering controls, which helped reduce over-ordering and waste. As a result, the organization saw a significant drop in spending and gained much better control over purchasing, with Hybrent also earning praise for responsive customer service and product enhancements based on user feedback.
