| Why
We Created the viaMD Solution: |
-
We believe the surgery-driven medical device
supply chain needs an industry-specialized and
user-focused service which improves each step
of the entire process from the initiating event
(surgery scheduling and patient admitting),
onto inventory and order management, and finishing
with a matched shipment and invoice.
-
Unique supply chain needs demand unique solutions:
-
Multi-party users disconnected at each process
step
-
Multi-threaded scheduling and patient admitting
process
-
Customized, event-driven materials planning
-
Complex process information flows
-
Individualized product classification characteristics
-
Unique inventory stocking and product ordering
requirements
-
Paper inventory tracking and cumbersome
order fulfillment cycle
-
Low demand visibility and fragmented decision
support information

with customized material orders, and the relevant
hospital departments schedule and confirm surgery
cases.
- Inventory
and order fulfillment functionality enabling
surgery pick lists, post surgery materials reconciliation,
specialized inventory and order management,
receiving, and reverse logistics for the hospital.
Medical device sales reps receive automatic
advance surgery notification for timely surgery
support and order fulfillment.
