Streamlining procurement and achieving savings
Dan Rock, Procurement Director at Kendal, was excited to work with Entegra and added that "there were maybe 115 suppliers [with whom] we started those relationships, and there's an enormous savings for us both on the front side or on the back from a rebate perspective." Dan explains that when he reached out to Entegra and said "I need this kind of product, I need this kind of service," he knew that Entegra "was going to point [him] in the right direction."
Entegra's commitment to partnership
After a slight misunderstanding with some suppliers, Rock was impressed with how Entegra handled it. He said, "Entegra actually stepped up and made it right. You know, it was something they didn't have to do, but it showed a great partnership… [Entegra was] willing to step up and it was way beyond what we expected."
The partnership between Kendal and Entegra highlights the power of collaboration and mutual understanding. Entegra's ability to provide tailored solutions, streamline procurement and demonstrate a strong commitment to its clients has resulted in significant savings and a strengthened relationship with Kendal, ultimately benefiting the senior adults Kendal serves.
