What is procurement software for an aesthetic clinic?
Procurement software manages how a clinic buys its supplies. It keeps track of stock, works out what to reorder, compares supplier prices and places the orders.
Seltero is procurement software built for UK clinics. For an aesthetic clinic it replaces the stock spreadsheet and the round of supplier and pharmacy websites with one prepared order that you check and approve.
Good procurement software does five jobs:
- Keeps your stock count up to date
- Suggests what to reorder, before you run out
- Compares supplier prices like for like
- Places the orders with every supplier
- Gives you one invoice
Why it pays to compare suppliers
The same type of product costs very different amounts from one UK supplier to the next. These are prices we found in November 2026, ex VAT:
| PRODUCT | LOWEST | HIGHEST |
|---|---|---|
| Blunt cannulasper 20 | £28.11 | £184.82+ |
| Syringesbox of 100 | £4.80 | £19.99+ |
| Pre-injection swabsbox of 100 | £1.25 | £5.57+ |
Even the identical product is priced differently: we found the same box of 20 TSK STERiGLIDE cannulas at £109.95 and at £184.82.

- Ordering automation
Orders that write themselves
Injectables, skincare and consumables go on one order across every supplier. A product goes on it when your stock is low, when its price is low or when your team adds it. One approval places every supplier order.

Injectable stock, always up to date
Your injectables are added to stock when they are delivered, and stock is updated every day. You always know how much you hold and when to reorder, without counting by hand.

Consumables at the best price
The cannulas, needles, syringes and skin prep around each treatment are compared like for like, and a cheaper option is suggested where there is one. Injectables stay with the brand and pharmacy you choose.

One weekly invoice
However many suppliers deliver to you, you get one invoice a week, with each product, its price and the VAT listed. Spend is shown by category, treatment or site.

Questions aesthetic clinics ask before they start.
What is the best way to manage stock in an aesthetic clinic?
Keep one stock list that updates itself, and reorder from what you use, not from a guess. Seltero updates your stock every day, adds deliveries automatically and suggests reorders before you can run out, so you can hold less spare stock.
How can an aesthetic clinic automate its supply ordering?
Three things have to be joined up: a stock count that stays up to date, a rule for when to reorder, and a way to order from several suppliers at once. Seltero joins them. It prepares the next order across your suppliers and places every supplier order when you approve it.
Does Seltero change which toxin or filler we use?
No. Injectables stay with the brand and pharmacy you choose. Seltero compares prices on the consumables around each treatment, such as cannulas, needles, syringes and skin prep, and any cheaper alternative is only a suggestion.
Does Seltero replace our clinic booking software?
No. Seltero sits alongside it. Your booking system keeps running appointments and client records. Seltero looks after stock, ordering, supplier prices and invoices.
Is Seltero built for the UK?
Yes. Seltero is a UK company. It works with UK suppliers, prices in pounds and UK VAT.
Will Seltero order anything without asking us?
No. Seltero prepares the order, and nothing is bought until you approve it. Before you do, you can change a quantity, remove a product or add one.
