The story

Method is a vertical SaaS company built specifically for dental practices and DSOs, offering procurement, inventory management, analytics, and an accounts-payable module (Method Pay). It acts as an 'authorized agent' logging into supplier portals on behalf of dental practices to retrieve pricing and submit orders — a scraping/agent architecture rather than a marketplace. Method Pay layers AP automation (3-way match, invoice capture) on top of procurement, but payments themselves flow through customer-owned accounting/financial systems (e.g. QuickBooks Online) rather than a Method-branded money-movement rail.
