Warecom for Orthopaedic Device Distribution & Instrument/Implant Management

Overview

Managing a Medical Device supply chain is increasingly challenging for Orthopaedic Distributors, Hospital Networks and Device Manufacturers. Great uncertainties of supply and demand, shorter and shorter product cycles and increased downward pressure on pricing requires improved visibility into resource allocation and utilization. For every Medical Device Distributor around the world, supply chain visibility offers a unique perspective that provides the ability to prepare and respond quickly if events don’t go according to plan

Warecom helps address these challenges by providing:

• Real-time resource visibility to increase transparency and control over your implants and instruments.
• Business-to-business (B2B) collaboration to improve your supply/demand synchronization.
• View all information including case load of any resource.
• Dynamic Filtering to view asset requests, utilization and consumption.
• Intelligent movement of resources to closest case to reduce freight and handling costs.
• Resource transfer between territories, home warehouses, facilty locations or rep locations either temporarily or permanently.

MBM WareCom Warehouse Manager

WareCom is a powerful warehouse application integrated into all other SOPIC solution components. WareCom provides robust functions for your warehouse personel including implant/instrument reservation, implant/instrument check-in, Kit validation & replenishment, kit creation, intercompany transfers, recording driver/rep pickups, warehouse spotchecks, inventory audits and more. Warecom allows you to control scanned and validated kit contents for Product ID, lot codes, and product expiry dates. Both instrument and implant resources can be validated through barcode scanning for precise lot control or visually if lots are not being tracked. As well, the entire MBM messaging infrastructure is supported by WareCom so the moment an implant kit is commited the rep is notified. WareCom has integrated wireless barcode scanning and can easily run on rugged tablet PC’s, UMPC’s or laptops.

MBM Warecom Field Support

Warecomm Field Support allows your internal customer service, operations and billing team to view and manage all cases electronically scheduled by your reps as well as view and manage all kits available to a case. Preference settings allow the team to filter and sort by reps, date of surgery, date of delivery, days until delivery, escalation status, re-schedules and more. One click at the end of the day will determine if all case-related tasks are completed. The system holds all rep, surgeon and facility data including contacts, preferences and shipping addresses. Automated communication allows all status updates, changes and escalation of case to instantly notify the rep and all other stakeholders in the process.

MBM Warecom case*trac

Warecom case*trac is the electronic “BigBoard” that typically replaces the whiteboard in sales, warehouse and operations that most orthopaedic distributors use to get a birds-eye view of upcoming cases and the status of pending transfer and loaner inventory. Designed to display on LCD or Plasma screens case*trac can be filtered sorted and configured to give a big-picture view of information and data being created by all stakeholders and users in the system. Real-time data updates case*trac with reserved kits, kit status, kit maintenance, resource utilization, exceptions and notification of cancellations or rescheduled cases.
