CONTINUED As its lab supplier, we offer our full range of products and services, which includes an extensive life-sciences portfolio. Aventis also benefits from our third-party procurement program, through which we help manage all of its laboratory purchases – including orders from suppliers that are not part of our traditional vendor base. This program provides three significant benefits. We eliminate the hassle of dealing with large numbers of vendors and the invoices, payments and deliveries associated with each order. We reduce the number of suppliers by standardizing products. And finally, we negotiate supplier agreements to achieve cost savings for our customers. Instead of buying products from potentially hundreds of different suppliers, Aventis can obtain virtually everything from one source – Fisher. And, all of this is supported by superior service, delivery and e-commerce technology, at a competitive price. Where some companies see boundaries as limitations, Fisher sees opportunities.
