When it comes to item fulfillment and floor stock management, as it relates to hospital food and nutrition departments, it is often a manual process that can be costly and inefficient.
Here’s why – staff typically visit cost centers to compile a list of items needed, only to retrieve the items themselves or provide the order to someone else to fulfill from the inventory supply. Alternatively, if time is limited, staff guesstimate how much inventory to send to each cost center, which can result in overstock and waste. Sound familiar?
