Capital X-Ray is proud to announce that it has been chosen by Novation to participate in their new "interactive shopping experience" for their participating healthcare facilities. Ultimately, the newly-revised Novation website will feature an online catalog showcasing Capital X-Ray's product portfolio. This catalog will be able to be searched by Novation members and provide them with detailed product descriptions and additional information. An added feature will be that the site will also encompass both contract and non-contract products, giving members new insight into products that may have previously been overlooked.

The site is expected to launch in the late summer of 2011.

Thanks to consistent growth in the state of Georgia, Capital X-Ray has now transitioned its Atlanta facility to function as the sales hub for the region. While the Atlanta office originally served as the service billing and dispatch center, CXR's home office in Alabama will now house both supply and service billing as well as dispatch under one roof. "This transition allows for more continuity between the supply-end and the service-end of the business while the addition of sales personnel will allow us to stay in closer contact with our customers. Ultimately, this will provide customers with a better overall experience," said Jarrod Stiff, Vice President of Operations. He added, "It's exciting to see not only the growth that's taken place, but the potential for additional growth." 

Capital X-Ray has been in business since 1987 and provides coverage for Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle.
