One platform for buying, suppliers and approvals
A procurement platform built for private acute healthcare and social care organisations. Save time, control spend, consolidate suppliers and simplify purchasing across every site.
Built for private healthcare and care operators. Designed for scale.
Enterprise software assumes corporate supply chains, not multi-site care homes managing diverse categories under operational pressure. Wippet reflects how care organisations actually operate.
Care-specific categories
Product structures designed around food, consumables, uniforms, medical supplies and facilities management.
Supplier network
Pre-vetted suppliers who understand care sector requirements, compliance standards and delivery expectations.
Operational flexibility
Sites need speed. Finance needs control. Procurement needs strategic capability. The platform serves all three without compromise.
Scale without complexity
Five sites or fifty, the platform works the same way. Add new sites easily and onboard suppliers quickly without expanding headcount.
Multi-site procurement shouldn't be this complicated.
When you operate across multiple sites — care homes, private hospitals or healthcare facilities — procurement becomes a source of chaos. Each location orders differently. Pricing varies wildly across the same products. Invoices arrive from dozens of suppliers, finance teams spend hours reconciling orders, and nobody has clear visibility over what's actually being spent.
You know there's waste. But without a system that works across all sites, controlling procurement feels impossible. Spreadsheets don't scale. Email ordering leads to errors. Manual approvals are either too slow or too easy to bypass.
Enterprise platforms are too complex and expensive for the way you work. Generic marketplaces lack the controls you need.
What makes Wippet different.
Built for multi-site care organisations
Enterprise procurement software is designed and built for global corporations, not for SMEs and medium size organisations.
We know the categories you buy, the suppliers you work with and the operational pressures you face. The platform reflects how care organisations actually operate — not how enterprise software thinks you should work.
Control without complexity
Most platforms force a choice: complexity — endless configuration, rigid workflows, months of implementation — or chaos, with open marketplaces offering no controls and no visibility.
Lock down which suppliers and products your sites can use. Set approval workflows based on spend thresholds. Enforce compliance without creating bureaucracy that slows everything down.
One invoice, not dozens
Managing dozens of suppliers means thousands of invoices, different payment terms and different reconciliation processes. Finance teams waste hours chasing paperwork and resolving discrepancies.
You pay Wippet once. We pay all suppliers. One monthly invoice covering all purchases across all sites — saving hours of finance time every month.
Real-time visibility across sites
Without a proper platform you're blind. What did each site spend last month? Which suppliers are being used? Are negotiated prices actually being realised?
See exactly what's being purchased, where, by whom and at what price. Identify overspend before it becomes a problem and spot non-compliance before it becomes embedded behaviour.
Pricing intelligence through expertise
True pricing intelligence isn't just a technology feature — it's the result of deep, continuous presence in the supply market.
We benchmark your prices across hundreds of thousands of product lines, comparing like-for-like across multi-SKU baskets. We maintain alternative supplier relationships and introduce competitive tension where needed. Your budget is actively protected, not just processed.
How it works for different teams.
You don't have procurement expertise — and you shouldn't need it. Ordering essentials should be straightforward: no mistakes, no delays, no admin burden.
- •One place to order everything
- •Only approved suppliers and products visible
- •Market-leading negotiated pricing
- •Receipting — only pay for what arrives
- •Favourites and repeat orders
- •Automatic approval workflows
- •Order history and tracking
- •One consolidated invoice
Familiar online shopping — with controls, compliance and vetted suppliers built in.
When sites buy independently, spending becomes invisible. Overspend creeps in, rogue purchasing undermines negotiated agreements, and you lack the data to make informed decisions.
- •Complete spend visibility across all sites
- •One consolidated invoice
- •Downloadable spend reports by site, supplier and category
- •Configurable approval workflows
- •Supplier performance tracking
- •Category-level insights
- •Onboard your existing suppliers onto the platform
Control and clarity — without chasing dozens of suppliers or reconciling hundreds of invoices.
Even experienced teams get stretched managing multiple sites, categories and suppliers. Your platform should strengthen your capability, not create more admin.
- •Approved supplier and product lists configurable in platform
- •Automated compliance enforcement
- •Price benchmarking and alternative suppliers
- •Contract management and renewal tracking
- •Spend data and category reporting
- •Integration with existing systems
Wippet handles enforcement and visibility, so you can focus on strategy and supplier relationships.
See every penny, all in one place.
Visibility is the foundation of control. Without knowing what's being spent, where and with whom, procurement improvement is impossible.
Wippet consolidates all purchasing activity into one clear view. Every order. Every supplier. Every site. Real-time data showing exactly where money goes — instantly, not after hours of spreadsheet work.
Category visibility
See spend patterns across food, consumables, uniforms, medical supplies and facilities management.
Site visibility
Compare purchasing behaviour across locations. Identify high performers and understand where others overspend.
Supplier visibility
Track which suppliers are used, how much is spent and whether negotiated pricing is being followed.
Product visibility
Understand what's purchased at SKU level and find opportunities for standardisation or consolidation.
Save hours on every order.
Chasing approvals. Reconciling invoices. Resolving ordering errors. Manual procurement diverts resources that should be focused on delivering excellent care.
Approval workflows
Set rules once. Approvals happen automatically based on spend thresholds, categories or site-level authority — governance without slowing down buying.
Streamlined ordering
Favourites, repeat orders and smart suggestions make routine purchasing fast. Sites spend minutes ordering, not hours.
Consolidated invoicing
Finance reconciles one invoice, not dozens. You pay Wippet once; we take care of the rest.
Receipting
Confirm what's been delivered and only pay for what arrives — reducing disputes and improving payment accuracy.
Reduced errors
Controlled product catalogues and structured ordering eliminate wrong products, incorrect quantities and pricing errors.
See it on your own data
A short demo walks through ordering, approvals and reporting using categories you actually buy.
Get the best price, every time.
Wippet combines platform controls with ongoing market intelligence, so price protection isn't a one-time exercise — your budget is actively defended over time.
Negotiated pricing locked in
Agreed pricing is enforced across all sites. No site pays more than they should. No supplier charges above the agreed rates.
Market benchmarking
Compare your pricing against market norms. Identify where you're paying over the odds and where renegotiation opportunities exist.
Alternative supplier visibility
When better options exist, we surface them — rather than hiding opportunities behind existing relationships.
Category intelligence
Understand pricing dynamics across categories: where prices are rising, where competition exists and where consolidation could deliver savings.
Stop juggling suppliers.
Managing dozens of suppliers creates complexity, risk and cost — different ordering systems, invoicing processes, payment terms and compliance requirements. As organisations grow, supplier complexity compounds.
Centralised ordering
One platform for all suppliers. Sites don't need to remember different websites, phone numbers or ordering processes.
Standardised processes
All suppliers operate through the same system — reducing errors and admin burden.
Consolidated payments
Pay once. Wippet handles all supplier payments. Finance manages one relationship, not dozens.
Existing supplier onboarding
We can add your existing suppliers to the platform, even if they aren't already part of the Wippet ecosystem — so relationships that work well stay in place.
Unified compliance
Supplier vetting, insurance checks and due diligence are handled centrally. We verify accounts, insurance certificates, anti-bribery and anti-slavery policies and ESG documentation — so you have the evidence needed to demonstrate supply chain management to your regulators. Once a supplier is approved, they're available across all sites without duplicating compliance work.
