@Health and it's associated marketplaces have been designed to exploit the benefits of the internet in providing low cost, high value supply chain solutions for major purchasers.

@Health is a subsidiary of @UK PLC which has been building marketplaces since 1999. The technology is British, and wholly owned by @UK PLC, and as such we are not reliant on any third party software vendor.
Consequently we do not have to charge you, the purchaser, any licence fees for the use of our software.

@Health can scale to handle over 1 million merchants and it has a sophisticated order tracking system which allows you to buy from multiple merchants in one transaction.

We recognise that attracting suppliers, providing additional benefit to them and ensuring that their catalogues are up to date at all times is crucial. To help us to do this we provide our technology free to large purchasers, and we pay you up to 30% of the suppliers first year fees.

This incentive ensures that you have the funds to communicate with your suppliers to ask them to join the marketplace, and that you have additional budget for integration with your existing back end finance and accounting systems.

Our suppliers are visible to all purchasers, so the @Health / @UK PLC marketplaces are a major route to new and existing businesses.
This ensures that there is one catalogue - it may have multiple prices accessed by specific purchasers - but it is up to data at all times.

The core functionality of the marketplace includes;
* Secure online ordering
* Catalogues with product information and comparison functionality
* Discount pricing
* The ability to create communities and personalise the marketplace
* Auctions - in conjunction with Barclays B2B
* Request for proposal
* Order tracking
