Enhanced efficiency

Dedicated delivery days: MWI works to consolidate orders for delivery on dedicated days**, increasing staff efficiency.

Reduced overhead: Your practice will benefit from reduced waste disposal costs and overheads.

Optimized staff time: By consolidating orders into twice-weekly deliveries, staff can shift from administrative tasks to patient care and revenue-generating activities.

Enhanced inventory management: Team members can reduce the time needed to create orders, receive goods, reconcile invoices, and manage inventory.

Environmental stewardship

Reusable plastic totes: Orders are delivered in strong, stackable totes that are collected on the next delivery. This reduces the need for single-use cardboard and Styrofoam, lowering your practice's carbon footprint.

Product security and integrity: Our sturdy totes add an extra layer of protection and are secured with zip ties to ensure product integrity and minimize the risk of damage during transit.

Future readiness: The program aligns with shifting cultural expectations around sustainability.

Practice culture

Less daily unpacking: Team members spend less time unpacking boxes daily, allowing more focus on patient care.

Positive workplace environment: Working for a practice that places a greater focus on patient care and reducing waste helps bolster team morale and enhance workplace culture.

Reputation for sustainability: Supporting sustainability helps attract clients and talented professionals to your practice.
