The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), Australia’s oldest and largest medical research institute, manages procurement for a vast range of laboratory consumables and operational items. With around 80 suppliers and more than two million products to source, the procurement process was heavily transactional and time-consuming. Manual processes limited efficiency and prevented the procurement team from focusing on more strategic initiatives. WEHI needed a way to automate purchasing and e-invoicing to reduce administrative burden and streamline operations.

WEHI implemented OneAdvanced’s Purchasing solution, OneMarketplace, to automate and simplify its procurement processes. The platform enables a fully integrated, “no-touch” purchasing experience, from ordering consumables to processing e-invoices. The intuitive user interface made adoption easy, while straightforward implementation and low operational costs ensured a fast and cost-effective rollout. With workflows now automated, procurement operations run seamlessly in the background, freeing the team to focus on strategic procurement activities.

With OneAdvanced, WEHI has transformed its procurement operations into a fully automated, no-touch process for both purchasing and e-invoicing. Managing transactions for 80 suppliers and over two million products now requires minimal manual intervention, dramatically increasing efficiency. The procurement team can now concentrate on strategic initiatives rather than routine administration. The platform’s simple, user-friendly design has encouraged adoption across the organisation, while its cost-effective implementation and operation have delivered strong value without disrupting day-to-day activities.
