Hamburg, July 2018. The free ordering platform has been revolutionizing the veterinary market with its innovative range of services since autumn 2016. In this way, heiland.com reduces the previously time-consuming ordering processes from several manufacturers and bundles them with their portal on a single website. The reason for this unique service is the portal's direct connection to the IT systems of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturers in the industry. In addition to manufacturers such as Zoetis, MSD, Virbac, Vetoquinol, LIVISTO or Elanco, the Federal Association for Animal Health e. V. (BfT) has many advantages in one joint ordering service.

 

What previously had to be done in a time-consuming and complicated manner via telephone, fax and e-mail can now be done very simply with a click on heiland.com – and in a matter of seconds. With the help of the veterinary portal heiland.com, veterinarians benefit from a unique service for the largest direct online offer. In this way, they can access the daily updated range of products from the various suppliers, which the portal offers with a single, comprehensive search function and also shows the availability of the products. All orders placed are forwarded directly to the respective provider via heiland.com, whereby the individually negotiated discounts and usual delivery times of each practice remain unchanged.

 

conviction on both sides

​

Pharmaceutical manufacturers who are already involved also see many advantages in the joint ordering platform - such as higher customer satisfaction thanks to a more comprehensive range of services, synergies through joint IT development and fewer returns thanks to the lower error rate when accepting orders. In addition, the manufacturers are already working together with the portal in a spirit of trust: “We are very pleased to support a young company with a background of long tradition in the veterinary market. The impulses that the Heiland brothers give in the industry will benefit all of us - and especially our veterinarians," says Dr. medical vet Anton Renz (Zoetis).

The founders Jaan and Claas Heiland are convinced of their innovative range of services and have put their vision for a simple and efficient ordering process into practice:

“The development that we will be going through with heiland.com in the next few years will continue to revolutionize everyday practice for veterinarians in Germany. Together with our veterinarians, we are rethinking the entire day-to-day practice and want to get the most out of relieving the practice staff.”

 

They entered the market at the end of 2016 with the free ordering platform and already have over 2,000 users who benefit from the innovative service. Via heiland.com, veterinarians can choose from over 10,000 veterinary products from the leading suppliers and purchase them directly from the manufacturer with just a few clicks, thus saving valuable time compared to individual orders.
