What is Wren?

Wren is a procurement platform built specifically for the healthcare industry. It gives clinics, doctor's offices, hospitals, and other medical practices a single place to manage all of their purchasing — no more logging in and out of multiple supplier websites just to restock supplies.

In short: Wren brings every supplier you already buy from into one dashboard, so you can shop, order, track, and report on procurement across your entire practice from one screen.

Who Wren is for

Wren is designed for medical practices of all sizes, including:

  • Independent clinics and doctor's offices

  • Multi-location healthcare groups

  • Hospitals and surgical centers

  • Specialty practices (dermatology, ophthalmology, dental, veterinary, and more)

  • GPO members looking to maximize their contract savings

If your team spends time juggling supplier portals, chasing price changes, or reconciling orders across locations, Wren is built to take that work off your plate.

What you can do with Wren

Shop all your suppliers from one place

Instead of placing separate orders on each supplier's website, you build one cart in Wren and send orders out to multiple suppliers simultaneously. Wren connects to your suppliers through direct API integrations and punchout connections, so the products and pricing you see are pulled in live.

Catch price increases before they hit your invoice

Wren's pricing parity feature flags price changes before items are added to your cart. You'll know about increases up front rather than discovering them after the invoice arrives.

Track shipments in real time

Live order tracking shows you where each shipment is from the moment you place the order until it arrives at your door.

Manage inventory across every location

See live inventory across all of your locations in one view. Before placing a restock order, you can check whether another location has surplus stock — a simple way to reduce waste and avoid duplicate orders. Wren also tracks expiration dates so nothing gets lost on a shelf.

Save your favorite carts for repeat ordering

If you order the same products on a regular cycle, save them as a Saved Shopping Cart. Next time, ordering is one click.

Set approvals, roles, and permissions

You decide who can shop, who can approve orders, and what spending limits apply to each user. Customizable approval routings mean nothing leaves your practice that you haven't signed off on.

Add unlimited users at no extra cost

Wren bills by location, not by user. You can add as many team members as you need without your subscription cost going up.

Get advanced reporting

Detailed reports give you visibility into spend by supplier, category, location, and time period — useful for budgeting, audits, and identifying savings opportunities.

Make the most of your GPO membership

Wren is built to work hand-in-hand with Group Purchasing Organizations. When you're shopping, Wren tells you which products are on your GPO contract. Your GPO partner can also access your data through their portal to recommend higher tiers, track contract usage, and suggest standardization opportunities.

Pricing

Wren offers two ways to get started:

  • Free version — Enroll all of your locations and place one order to one supplier per month at no cost.

  • Paid plan — Full access to every feature, billed per location with a 30-day free trial. No setup fee, no implementation fee.
