It puts you in control of your purchasing which is key in practices where ordering is carried out by a number of dispensers across different locations.
You can view live spend by product type, manufacturer and wholesaler.
The My Deals feature allows quick sign up to instant savings we can offer you through the portal, whether we are automatically moving products to a parallel import alternative or a brand to generic alternative and vice versa on request.
