Supporting Menicon UK Into a New Exciting Phase

November 2024 - Go to Advance About page

Advance Medical is honored by its longstanding partnership with Menicon UK as they embark on an ambitious new phase, expanding their reach and influence across borders. This collaboration began 15 years ago, when Menicon UK operated as David Thomas Contact Lenses, and it has grown into a dynamic relationship that reflects shared goals and commitment.

The latest project centers on a multi-country integration designed to automate order transfers across Menicon UK’s expanding European footprint. Spanning countries from all over Europe, our teams coordinated with multiple partners, each contributing their expertise to create a seamless solution. Daily, we made complex decisions together, often in real time, as we adapted to evolving project requirements.

Tackling Complexity Across Borders

This endeavor began with an in-depth feasibility analysis, involving a close assessment of Menicon UK’s processes, cross-departmental interactions, and customer requirements. This thorough analysis laid the groundwork for an effective strategy, enabling Menicon UK to achieve their objectives while maintaining operational standards across borders.

Overcoming Challenges Together

Navigating logistical hurdles, technical requirements, diverse regulations, and operational demands across multiple countries presented considerable challenges. Yet, working side by side with great team of Menicon UK, we overcame obstacles and adjusted to changing demands, reinforcing our collaborative approach and commitment to success.

Elevating the Customer Experience

Research shows a strong correlation between order process quality and customer satisfaction, particularly in B2B contexts. Key factors, such as order accuracy, timeliness, and effective handling of discrepancies, are critical to customer satisfaction. By delivering a tailored solution that upholds these standards, we are confident in having consistently elevated the service experience.

Advance Medical’s Client-Centric Approach

This project exemplifies our client-centric approach, built on trust, shared values, and transparency. Although we rarely take on custom projects of this scale—especially those extending beyond our core expertise in contact lens design and manufacturing—our commitment to Menicon UK made this a priority. Supporting our clients’ success is our ultimate goal, and we are excited to continue this journey together, exploring new territories and achieving ambitious goals. Menicon is dedicated to bringing life into sharp focus. By creating the most advanced contact lenses, they provide a new way of seeing the world - helping to protect the most precious of all our senses and bringing better vision within reach of everyone.

From the beginning of our project, Advance Medical expertise was clear. They guided us through every aspect of the process and remained focused on our goal to minimise impact on our customers despite multiple changes and challenges along the way. It has always felt like we were one team and Menicon Ltd are grateful for the support we have been given by the whole Advance Medical team.
Gaynor Williamson, Managing Director of Menicon UK

This project not only tested our capabilities but also underscored the power of collaboration, trust, and a shared vision. Together, we’re setting the stage for continued success.
