Reward the channel.
Win the procurement decision.

Medical device and equipment companies win market share through the relationships they build with distributors, biomedical engineers, and procurement teams. CareThanks gives you the infrastructure to reward those relationships — measurably, at scale.

The Challenge

Medical device companies invest heavily in clinical evidence and sales headcount. The channel relationships that actually drive procurement decisions are often left unrewarded.

When a procurement manager chooses between two equivalent devices, loyalty, familiarity, and the quality of the supplier relationship matter as much as the product spec. CareThanks makes it possible to reward and strengthen those relationships systematically.

1
Distributor switching is costly and common
Distributors carry multiple brands. Without structured loyalty programs, switching to a competitor offering better margins or incentives is a constant risk.
2
Procurement relationships are invisible
Hospital procurement managers and biomedical engineers influence equipment decisions significantly — but there is no infrastructure to reward their loyalty to your brand.
3
Service contract renewals are reactive
Service and maintenance contract renewals are managed reactively. There is no proactive reward structure to incentivise early renewal or multi-year commitment.
4
Rep incentive programs are manual
Field sales and regional rep incentive programs are managed through spreadsheets and manual processes — with no real-time tracking or automated reward issuance.

QWhat reward types are most appropriate for distributor and procurement contacts?
