Hospital procurement teams spend 40 hours a month hunting for supplies. Purchasing agents juggle multiple distributors, compliance requirements, and outdated legacy systems. Uncap's B2B ecommerce platform purpose-built for medical equipment distributors connects hospitals and health systems to real-time inventory, transparent tiered pricing, and streamlined ordering workflows. Cut your technology costs by over 30% while helping clinicians find what they need faster.

Your medical equipment distribution is stuck in the paper age

Hospital procurement is broken. Purchasing agents send RFQs to multiple distributors and wait days for quotes. Clinicians search manual inventory systems to find needed equipment. Value Analysis Committees review paper requisitions instead of self-service requests. Your distributors manage orders by email and phone while your legacy ERP stays disconnected from reality. Compliance documentation is scattered. Volume discounts are applied manually if at all.

Key pain points holding you back

  • Hospital procurement teams drowning in manual processes: Requisitions, approvals, purchase orders, and quotes all move by email and spreadsheet. Hospital purchasing agents spend hours managing RFQs from different distributors, tracking quotes, and manually updating orders in their legacy procurement systems.
  • No visibility into real-time equipment inventory: Hospitals need to know what's available now, what's backordered, and when they can expect delivery. Without real-time inventory sync from your ERP, procurement teams guess. Surgeries get delayed. Equipment searches stretch into hours.
  • Fragmented pricing across hospital networks: You're managing different contract terms, volume discounts, and pricing tiers for large health systems with multiple locations. Each hospital sees different pricing. Tracking which facility gets which discount requires spreadsheets and manual intervention.
  • Compliance and regulatory burden scattered across systems: Hospitals need FDA compliance documentation, equipment specifications, compatibility information, and maintenance history. Managing all of this across email, PDFs, and disconnected systems creates delays, audit risks, and operational chaos.
  • Complex equipment specifications and compatibility issues: Medical devices have interconnected parts. Hospitals need to verify compatibility, review technical specs, confirm warranty details, and access replacement part availability. Without structured product data, ordering becomes a support ticket nightmare.
  • ERP completely disconnected from your web presence: Your website has no idea what your ERP knows. You're manually pushing inventory updates, syncing pricing changes, and re-entering orders into fulfillment. It's 2026. This should be automatic.
