HL-Cat Hybris data management for the NHS and Private Sector

As healthcare providers start to introduce e-procurement they have four essential requirements:

• Catalogue data needs to comply with defined standards, be accurate and comprehensive
• Data needs to be obtained from a wide range of suppliers and not just a selected few
• Shared Service, Confederation, Alliance, Collaborative Procurement Hub (CPH) and national contracts and net pricing need to be included
• The data needs to be precisely formatted for use in Trust purchase order systems.

The HL-Cat Hybris solution meets these requirements and has the following unique functionality:

• No supplier membership requirement, so no limit on the number participating
• Item input into the system by either the Trust or supplier, with in-built validation rules
• Trust-specific and system-specific filtering, formatting, validation and pricing
• Incorporation of multi-Trust, Shared Service, CPH and National net prices and contracts as well as individual Trust
• Direct web access to images and specifications
• Operation either directly with suppliers or via a third party exchange.
