The region’s first fully digital B2B medical supplies distribution platform Lumiere32 enters the Malaysian market, positioning itself for rapid growth throughout Southeast Asia.
Locally, the medical supplies distribution industry is highly fragmented, with hospitals and clinics adopting a largely manual and labour-intensive means of inventory management.
The current process requires medical institutions to procure their supplies from a variety of traditional sources – calls and emails, manufacturer’s websites, pharmacies, and e-commerce sites. This resource-heavy task along with the fast-moving e-commerce world we live in has resulted in an unnecessarily cumbersome medical supplies procurement process.
Through Lumiere32, these hassles are eliminated, as orders for highly sought-after medical and dental supplies from multiple brands can be placed on a single site, with shipping consolidated in a single package for added convenience. This will help ease inventory procurement tasks, so hospital and clinic staff are able to focus on providing better service to patients instead.
Beyond this, Lumiere32 is looking to help local SMEs sell their top-of-the-line medical supplies internationally. This is in line with the Malaysian government’s SMEs Go Global initiative, which encourages local brands, inclusive of those in the healthcare sector, to venture into foreign markets.
As a pioneer in medical supply distribution digitalisation in the region, Lumiere32 hopes to empower clinics and hospitals in Malaysia to seamlessly manage their supply procurement through a single, comprehensive yet convenient platform. Moving forward, Lumiere32 seeks to partner with more local medical equipment brands, medical supplies manufacturers, hospitals and clinics, creating a more connected medical supplies network.
