Description

An electronic procurement and ordering solution to be integrated within our pharmacy operations. PowerGate enables automated ordering, electronic invoicing, and supplier integration, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the pharmacy procurement process. Why PowerGate (GHX)? Supported by MPSC: Fully supported and recommended by MPSC for pharmacy procurement digital integration. Industry Standard: Adopted by over 95% of NHS trusts, demonstrating proven reliability and national alignment. Efficiency Improvements: Automates ordering and e-invoicing, reducing daily processing time by an estimated 30–40% and enabling staff to focus on clinical and high-value tasks. Addresses Current Limitations: Our current system allows automated ordering for only one wholesaler; all other orders require manual processing (3–4 hours of Band 5 technician time daily), increasing both workload and error risk. Cost Overview: £9,000 for implementation and first-year subscription, followed by £4,500 annually from year two onward.
