Maximizing profitability won’t happen overnight, so we recommend tackling one project—or profit hurdle—at a time. And Keys to the City makes this simple.
We recommend starting with a personalized, thorough and complimentary supply cost analysis. The time and money spent on ordering supplies and maintaining your practice inventory add up quickly, and our procurement experts will help you find ways to cut expenses and save time, which in turn will increase your profits & provide efficiencies.
How does a supply costs analysis work?
Our experts review 90 days of purchase history to uncover inefficiencies and make suggestions for improvement such as:
- Consolidating the number of suppliers you purchase from to maximize savings
- Switching to high-quality, lower-cost alternatives
- Suggesting ways to streamline ordering, such as using a procurement platform
The result? A clearer picture of your expenses, opportunities to reduce costs and more time to focus on what matters to you.
What comes next? Implement order process changes.
Once the review is complete and opportunities identified, the next project to tackle is the implementation changes recommended by your Keys to the City membership expert. The most effective way to do this is using a procurement platform like Sherpa Dental, which is free for Keys to the City members.
