REGULATE YOUR INVENTORY!​

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?

AN INTEROPERABLE SOLUTION

To improve hospital inventory management, we developed Inventory Connect – a robust solution with web-based capabilities. Your department can now automate item fulfillment, floor stock requisitions, and physical inventory valuation with this dynamic software.

Using a mobile floor stock device, staff can visit each cost center location to record the required amounts electronically. Inventory Connect then creates a requisition by generating a delivery requirements list of the items with their appropriate quantities, thereby ensuring the items ordered are fulfilled accurately. Subsequently, the system syncs with Foodservice Operations Management (FOM) and updates the inventory automatically.

COST CENTER ACCOUNTABILITY

For cost centers that require minimum quantities of specific items for patient needs, Inventory Connect offers inventory templates with par levels for each item. As a result, staff can always ensure adequate inventory items on the floor.

With the improved efficiency, cost centers can be replenished with a single delivery, streamlining the item fulfillment process. Additionally, staff can track the billability for each cost center and even receive digital signatures confirming the receipt of the items.

SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY

Aside from tracking floor stock, Inventory Connect can also manage inventory for catering, cafés, dining halls, doctor’s lounges, and even finished goods in a cook/chill operation. With these workflow enhancements, your operation can transform the hospital inventory management process of the supply chain!
