Challenge 1
When vendor coverage still isn't enough.
When vendor coverage still isn't enough.
OUR SOLUTION
Live price monitoring across vendors ensures the best option.
Live price monitoring across vendors ensures the best option.
Unlike many clinics, Santa Monica Dermatology already worked with multiple vendors and compared prices across vendor sites. However, these checks were done annually while supply prices changed daily. Despite broad vendor access, the team still missed savings and lacked real-time visibility into market pricing.
Grapevine provided continuous price monitoring across their existing vendors, giving the team real-time visibility into pricing changes. By surfacing the best available options at the moment of purchase, Grapevine helped unlock ongoing savings without switching vendors or adding manual work.

Smart rerouting that avoids allocation constraints.
Smart rerouting that avoids allocation constraints.
In 2024, Santa Monica Dermatology faced sudden lidocaine shortages across injections and patches due to manufacturing issues and rising demand. Despite working with multiple vendors, new outreach resulted in zero allocations, leaving the clinic without reliable backups and causing treatment delays.
Grapevine helps them avoid dead ends by pooling purchasing power across customers, routing orders across multiple vendors and GPOs, and surfacing clinically acceptable alternatives in real time.
