Case Studies

These case studies explore several common procurement scenarios and how LPS found innovative solutions to solve problems and create big savings for our clients.

• Product Sourcing
  Selecting the best product and finding the best supplier is ex-tremely important to your lab on many levels. It takes a scientist to know if a product will do the job and procurement person to find the supplier and negotiate the terms.
   
• Global Sourcing
  Your contract distributor sells the item in Europe but not in the U.S. and will or cannot import the item. So what do you do? Turn down the opportunity because you can’t obtain the products needed to do the testing?
   
• Proactive Price Monitoring
  When other vendors lower prices below your contract price, how will you know?
   
• The Non-Existent Product
  Sometimes the thing you need doesn't exist yet! An experienced lab procurement specialist with a scientific background can find a way. Will the call center operator at your major distributor be able to do the same?
