DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TractManager, Inc., the healthcare industry’s largest supplier of strategic sourcing and contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions, has acquired MedApproved, a company providing a SaaS-based, new product approval workflow solution to help hospitals review the thousands of products and services that physicians, nurses and staff request on a yearly basis.
“MedApproved is a natural complement to MD Buyline’s strategic sourcing solution,” said Trace Devanny, chief executive officer of TractManager. “MD Buyline clients will be eager to learn how they can incorporate MedApproved into their sourcing processes to streamline new product evaluations across their hospitals and health systems.”
MedApproved will remain in their current office locations, and all contracts and client agreements held by MedApproved will continue.
“We’re excited to be part of the TractManager family and to be aligned with MD Buyline,” said Tim Hopkins, CEO and co-founder of MedApproved. “My co-founder, John Wills, and I are proud of establishing MedApproved as a leader in product evaluation workflow. TractManager will enable us to expand the system and our footprint in the hospital market. We look forward to working with our new colleagues as we share the same values and vision for the evolution of MedApproved. We’re entering this new chapter with excitement and great expectations for the future, and remain committed to the high standards of excellence and customer service our MedApproved members have come to expect from us.”
