Adelpo vs. Procurement Partners: Modern Procure-to-Pay for Long-Term Care

Adelpo is a procure-to-pay software platform for multi-facility long-term care operators, covering procurement, AI invoice automation, and payments. Procurement Partners is a long-standing, private-equity-backed procurement and invoice platform for post-acute care, expanded through its acquisitions of On.Care and Hybrent. Both know long-term care. The structural difference is generation: built this decade. Deployed in 3–4 weeks, not quarters — and your team runs it without consultants. Adelpo deploys in 3–4 weeks and documents payback in 2–4 months.

“We just survived an EHR implementation” — why deployment time is the real differentiator

If you run a multi-facility operation, you carry implementation scar tissue. An EHR rollout that ate a year. A consultant engagement that outlived its budget. So when finance hears "new platform," the honest first reaction isn't excitement — it's dread. We designed around that memory.

The category norm for enterprise-style procurement rollouts is months to quarters, with outside consultants driving configuration. That norm is the real competitor on this page. Adelpo deploys in 3–4 weeks and documents payback in 2–4 months. Not because we skip steps — because the platform was built this decade, with self-serve configuration instead of a services engagement.

What a 3–4 week deployment looks like, week by week

Week 1: Vendor connections and catalog setup. Your suppliers, your negotiated prices, loaded and enforced.
Week 2: Approval workflows and facility guardrails, configured to match how you actually operate — corporate guardrails, facility autonomy.
Week 3: Census integration (PointClickCare or MatrixCare) and accounting sync (Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Dynamics).
Week 3–4: Parallel run, facility training, go-live. Training takes hours, not weeks — if a system needs a training binder, it's already failed the people using it.

Running the system without consultants: who administers what

After go-live, your team owns the system. Adding a vendor, changing an approval threshold, opening a new facility — these are settings your AP manager or procurement lead changes in minutes, not change-orders billed by an integrator. No consultant retainer, no ticket queue between you and your own configuration. And when you do need us, Adelpo customers work with dedicated reps and direct contact — and can start with a single module instead of a suite.

AP automation depth: from capture to payment

$9.87 → $2.81 per invoice; 80% less manual AP work

Procurement is half the job. The other half is the invoice grind: paper, PDFs, EDI, portal downloads, manual matching, month-end close. Manual processing costs the industry about $9.87 per invoice; Adelpo reduces invoice processing cost from $9.87 to $2.81 per invoice with AI capture of any format — roughly 80% less manual AP work, with results synced to Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Dynamics.

Automated 3-way match and duplicate prevention

For the controller, the daily difference is what stops landing on your desk. Adelpo matches invoice to PO to receiving automatically and flags only the exceptions. Duplicate invoices are caught before payment, not at the audit. Purchase approvals average 4.2 hours, so orders don't stall while invoices pile up against them. Payments — ACH and check — run in the same platform, so the cycle closes where it started.

Census-aware budgeting: PPD numbers from your EHR, not a spreadsheet

Long-term care finance manages by the patient day, but most budget-vs-actual reporting arrives 45 days late and ignores occupancy swings. Adelpo pulls census directly from PointClickCare or MatrixCare, so every facility's budget flexes with real occupancy in real time — administrators see PPD spend today, not at close. Customers typically see a 15–20% reduction in total procurement spend in year one.

When Procurement Partners may fit better

Honesty matters more than winning a page view. Procurement Partners has served long-term care for years — its vertical tenure, large installed base, and PE-scale resources are real, and that experience counts. If your organization is already deep in its ecosystem, the implementation is behind you, the facilities are content, and you don't need deeper AP automation, integrated payments, or census-fed PPD budgeting, staying put may be the rational call. The case for Adelpo is strongest when deployment pain, consultant dependency, or the gap between ordering and a fully automated AP-and-payments back office is costing you margin.

Switching: migration path for current Procurement Partners customers

Vendor and contract data migration; what carries over

Switching platforms does not mean rebuilding your supply chain. Your vendors, your negotiated prices, and your GPO contracts all come with you — Adelpo loads them during week one and then enforces them, so the compliant path becomes the easy path. Approval hierarchies are configured fresh in days, which most operators treat as a chance to simplify rather than a cost.

ROI timeline: payback in 2–4 months

The migration math is short: 3–4 weeks to deploy, documented payback in 2–4 months, and a 15–20% year-one reduction in procurement spend. If your renewal is approaching, that timeline fits inside a renewal window — you can be live on Adelpo before the old contract would have auto-renewed.

Frequently asked questions

How long does implementation take?

3–4 weeks for a typical multi-facility deployment, including vendor connections, approval workflows, census integration, and accounting sync. ROI is documented at 2–4 months.

Do we need consultants to deploy or run Adelpo?

No. Deployment is run by your own team with Adelpo’s onboarding support, and your team administers the system afterward — vendors, thresholds, and workflows are self-serve settings, not billable change-orders.

Is Adelpo HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Adelpo is HIPAA compliant and will sign a BAA.

Does Adelpo integrate with PointClickCare?

Yes. Adelpo pulls census from PointClickCare or MatrixCare to drive real-time per-patient-day budgets, and syncs with Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics.

Can we migrate mid-contract?

You can deploy Adelpo in parallel before your current contract ends — many operators time go-live to a renewal window. Your vendors, negotiated prices, and GPO contracts carry over; nothing about your supply relationships has to wait for a contract date.
