How an independent community pharmacy uses Bluechain to get more out of the cards it already holds: its main wholesaler paid on Amex for rewards points, and every other wholesaler paid on a 1% cashback Visa.
Pharmacy
A family-run community pharmacy that orders stock from several pharmaceutical wholesalers every month. None of them take card payments directly, and each runs its own invoicing process.

Rewards points on its main wholesaler, cashback on everything else, all from spend that had to happen anyway.
The pharmacy buys stock from several wholesalers, and none of them take card payments directly. Each runs its own invoicing process, so there was very little flexibility in how or when to pay. The owner wanted to pay suppliers on the pharmacy's own terms, use credit cards when needed and earn more card rewards.
The pharmacy now pays its main wholesaler on Amex every month, earning rewards points, and pays every other wholesaler on a 1% cashback Visa. Suppliers receive a normal bank transfer whichever card is behind it, and the pharmacy settles on its own card cycle, freeing up cash for weeks at a time.
We buy from several wholesalers and not one of them takes card payments directly. Bluechain lets us pay our main wholesaler on Amex and the others on Visa, so every payment now boosts cashflow and gives me something back, instead of just cash leaving the business. It's freed up cash and saved time not having to juggle so many payment processes.
Every wholesaler is paid on time, on whichever card makes sense for that spend. Cash gaps can now be bridged on any invoice, not just the ones that take card. Rewards points build on the main wholesaler's spend, with cashback on everything else, and the owner spends less time managing cashflow and more time running the pharmacy.
