Agreement between EBO subsidiary Onelink,and Crown owned Health Benefits Ltd signed.[at last!!]
Yes, percy, it was expected that EBO would win the contract but they'd have been on a hiding to nothing if they hadn't, considering the purchasing clout of Health Benefits Ltd. I would expect that pencils would have been sharpened to get the contract and that profit margins will have narrowed.
Yes very sharp pencils.Slim margins on huge volume?
At last year's agm EBO showed a video of Symbion's Sydney $30mil order collating system.A conveyor moves along.As it moves along pills,etc are dispensed down shoots to add to each order.Fantastic.I think EBO's Auckland distribution centre is very clever too.
Mark Waller has often stated EBO is more a "logistic" company.
How much of this is new business or is it just an extension of what they do now.
Excuse my ignorance .... I only understand the pet side and that is bubbling along very nicely I hear
I can not remember how many DHBs EBO were supplying [maybe 6 or 8] ,so the new agreement is significant, as it is for ALL 20 DHBs.
Trying to work with Govt. to save a lot of money.[Here and Australia]
Working to make the health spend go further.
Best practice,stop waste,duplication of supply,overstocks,understocks,buying power.Modern distribution channels,linked with modern ordering system means the right product is being delivered very quickly.Not sure about hospitals,but I think chemist shops enjoy two deliveries a day.{for some reason I think EBO have to be able to supply a hospital in an hour].
