ProfitGuard

Negotiate More Favorable Contract Rates

Through group-assisted negotiations with contracted wholesalers, ProfitGuard delivers a lower cost of goods for participating pharmacies. It also includes a complete set of online management tools to help you adjust purchasing for even greater profitability.

Warehouse Optimization with ProfitGuard

You can choose to use PBA Health’s warehouse as a stand-alone facility in your purchasing program, but the optimal benefits are delivered when you combine it with PBA Health’s ProfitGuard services and one of PBA Health’s preferred wholesalers. When properly positioned, you not only receive an aggressive and closely monitored cost of goods on purchases made through your wholesaler, but you also receive a full-line backup at pricing guaranteed to match your primary wholesaler arrangement. Furthermore, you are able to optimize the overall value of your negotiated wholesaler arrangement by buying up to an agreed upon level of product from PBA Health’s warehouse when the price of those items is better.

Consistent contract monitoring helps you make adjustments quickly

Best of all, ProfitGuard monitors to make sure you are obtaining the contracted discount rates and helps you quickly identify the routine adjustments you should make to add significant dollars to your bottom line. No other solution available to independent pharmacies provides such a complete solution:

  • Assisted supplier negotiations to obtain chain-like terms and conditions
  • Optimized wholesaler cost of goods to boost your margins
  • Complete backup for brands, generics, and CIIs - secondary sourcing at primary pricing to protect your margins
  • Maximum product availability and consistency to support your customer service levels
  • Chain-like price comparatives and purchase recommendations to save you time while saving you money
  • Systematic price audits of all your line items to protect your margins and ensure you are getting what you are promised on every single purchase
  • Fast and easy dashboard management keeps employees productive and happy

Wholesaler partnerships that deliver the products you need, when you need them

PBA Health’s preferred wholesalers are committed to servicing the inventory needs of PBA Health’s member pharmacies every single day. However, they also understand that you need to have an effective backup as they realize that business and inventory conditions do not always allow them to provide you exactly what you need when you need it.

Instead of allowing these situations to hinder your business, PBA Health and its preferred wholesalers work closely to ensure that, as partners, we provide you with the very best of both worlds—delivering virtually 100% of the products you need, at the time you need them, and without giving up valuable time or price. No other solution is as easy and comprehensive. No other solution is as good and profitable.
