Case Study:
BACKGROUND
OUR SOLUTION
CARA (Community Accommodation and Respite Agency) is a leading South Australian Disability Service Provider with over 1,000 staff. With these large numbers and several hundred disabled tenants, CARA undertake special care and assistance for all people and offer extensive support programs which require mobile one-on-one care, personal interaction and physical support.
Through Westlab’s ProcurePlus program and in conjunction with WeStore, CARA are able to take advantage of a consistent invoicing and delivery program. Instead of placing around 60 orders and receiving 60 invoices per month, CARA are able to place one order a nd receive one invoice, while delivering to as many locations as required.
THE CHALLENGE
RESULTS
With CARA’s staff profiles and type of work a regular supply of disposable healthcare PPE is required for both the safety of the individual and the staff member. With over 100 sites, CARA had their work cut out for them on the procurement and purchasing level, needing regular deliveries to each site.
CARA have literally reduced 99% of the workload when procuring PPE, and when combined with a highly reliable and topquality product and market leading prices, this makes procurement for them a breeze. Where previously pandemic-related procurement would have taken precious resources from the procurement level, this is minimised.
