Commonly known as “single sourcing” in business circles, using a single supplier to address a particular area of product need has its benefits and drawbacks. But for many medical label users, when the hidden pros and cons of using a single supply source are considered, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Below, we look at four hidden benefits of using a single medical label supplier.

1. Generates Cost Savings

Ordering two or more products from the same medical label supplier can result in package deals that deliver big cost savings, especially over the long-term. If you become a frequent buyer, you may also receive valued customer discounts and qualify for other incentives the supplier offers to promote loyalty. In addition to helping you generate cost savings, receiving labels from a single supplier makes your label expense highly predictable.

2. Simplifies Account Management

Meeting your label needs through a single supplier also simplifies account management. Instead of managing relationships with multiple sellers, why not reduce your administrative burden by focusing on a single supplier / customer relationship? By simplifying account management, using a single supplier can also reduce time spent on account management, freeing up human resources for other administrative tasks.

3. Predictable Quality Standards

Using a single medical label supplier helps you ensure the quality of new products. If you receive a high-quality product the first time around, it would be unusual to get another product that’s obviously lacking in quality. There’s a higher chance of receiving a bad product from a supplier you’ve never used than getting a poor product from a supplier that’s already demonstrated its dedication to quality.

4. Predictable Customer Service

Using a single medical label supplier also helps you predict the type of customer service you’ll receive. For example, if a supplier offers pre-sale technical support to help you select the right product, it would be unusual to not receive the same type of service when selecting a different product. Good customer service is invaluable when you need advice that only the manufacturer is qualified to give; hold onto it when you find it.
