Case Study: Lucy Therapeutics maximizes labor hours and spend control with Order.co

How a biotech startup increased team efficiency and spend controls in less than 10 days with Order.co

Lucy Therapeutics, a female-founded biotech startup based in Waltham, MA, needed a better way to manage purchasing after moving out of Lab Central and losing a third-party procurement process. With many vendors, multiple buyers, and strict budget requirements, the team’s manual ordering process made it difficult to stay organized, control spend, and free up scientists to focus on research.

Lucy Therapeutics implemented Order.co’s purchasing platform to centralize vendor ordering, approvals, budgets, reporting, and QuickBooks integration. Order.co also consolidated 20 vendors into the catalog and enabled the team to place their first order in just 10 days, with implementation described as the best Jessica Garrant had ever done. The result was less manual work, stronger spend control, and more labor hours returned to the science team.
