Case Study: Village Podiatry Centers streamlines supply ordering with Hybrent

Village Podiatry’s multiple locations were ordering independently leading to pricing problems and a lack of transparency. Gaining control of the process reduced waste substantially

Village Podiatry Centers, a division of Extremity Healthcare with more than 40 locations across Georgia and Tennessee, was struggling with a chaotic, decentralized supply ordering process. Each location purchased supplies independently, which prevented volume purchasing and best-pricing contract use, created inconsistency across locations, and made it difficult to confirm whether products were actually received.

Hybrent provided a one-stop ordering solution that let Village Podiatry search products by name, partial name, or SKU and compare best pricing across approved vendors. With Hybrent, regional managers could approve orders from laptops or mobile devices, staff could scan deliveries in real time to keep inventory accurate, and accounts payable could match payments to confirmed receipts. The result was a more efficient, standardized supply chain that saved time and money, improved accountability, and helped Village Podiatry expand Hybrent to new locations.
