What labs benefit most from LPS procurement services?
- Many LPS clients are in the manufacturing sector where busy lab managers have been tasked to obtain their own lab supplies by direct procurement and given cost saving goals.
- Smaller labs rely on LPS to assist their designated procurement person do his/her job more effectively and to find additional cost savings.
- Large labs with distributor contracts who rely on LPS to source the items large distributors either don’t have.
- Smaller Colleges and Universities without a scientifically trained procurement person.
- Any lab that would rather focus on generating lab results rather than shopping.
