Learn how to bulk order nurse rubber stamps and save money case study

How did we help them solve the problem?

This particular rubber stamp, the Trodat 4911RKR is one that has been sold regularly to nurses. Mainly for personal use which meant familiarity with the product was not a problem. It is a nice small stamp which fits in a pocket or more importantly on this occasion is specially fitted with a carabiner.

The rubber stamp carabiner can be attached to a lanyard and belt loop for quick and easy access and rubber stamping. Yes, every rubber stamp can be an individually personalised rubber stamp. All that was required was a document file with all the hospital nurses names and their registration numbers. Used for the print file to be laser engraved into the stamp rubber.

Yes, we can supply by the nominated date as this was beyond our usual ability to obtain products from overseas.

So, we thought at the time, there was some communication back and forth for all the details we needed to make the nurse rubber stamps. We met expectations of when we could supply from strategic points along the procurement, manufacture, assembly and shipping pathway.

Everything seemed to be flowing well. Then the communication came in that there was a problem in the procurement pathway. Due to the international freight delays our order was not going to meet the original arrival date. The contact at the District Health Board was notified and the wait was on. Again, the next target for landing on shore was not achieved. This was now cutting it fine. Fast communication was the key way forward.
