Wheelchair technology company Rowheels has launched RehabPulse.com, an online marketplace offering product ranges from durable medical manufacturers and rehab brands.
RehabPulse.com initially offers product categories including manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, ramps, braces and compression, and daily living aids. The site will subsequently expand its offering to include service, repairs and several other rehab products. Companies from industry who signed up for the launch include: McKesson, Compass Health, Ki Mobility, Merits Health, Motion Composites, Permobil, and WHILL.
Gaurav Mishra, CEO of Rowheels, said: “We want RehabPulse.com to become the leading global technology platform to meet the complex demands of people with mobility challenges. At Rowheels we not only reinvented the wheelchair technology but also redefined the distribution channel and the whole customer experience. With RehabPulse.com we are now transforming distribution across the rehabilitation industry by empowering vendors to sell directly to customers – ensuring customers get the best possible deals by removing layers of middlemen.”
RehabPulse aims to address challenges being faced by both vendors and customers in the rehabilitation products sector.
Todd Aiazzone of Merits Health said: "We believe this site will revolutionise the industry for vendors and customers alike.”
For sellers, RehabPulse.com provides a seller dashboard, offering features such as product and inventory management, pricing control and marketing management. For customers, RehabPulse.com brings together rehab products in one place, while offering financing options and access to the latest community news, guidance and videos.
Once companies have completed the enrolment and listing process, their products can be posted online.
The RehabPulse.com team guides traditional vendors into their transition to online selling, and enables them to expand their business to a wider audience. Vendors using RehabPulse.com will be able to reduce their spend on sales-support with a team of specialists to help guide customers to the right rehab and DME solutions.
