The Management of Medical Inventories Remains Difficult for Orthodontic Offices
Despite technological advancements, Excel spreadsheets are still widely used. To keep track of what they order and get, how much they pay, what stock is available, or how they should plan their budgets, offices that utilize some software frequently need to rely on more than one platform. Sometimes a job is handled by just one employee, and when that employee quits, the company suffers.
In contrast to the expensive solutions provided by the competition, our client had the idea of developing an all-in-one medical inventory management system that would be simple for any staff member to use and inexpensive.
Additionally, the client wanted to give customers various customization options and a pricing forum where they could disclose actual prices they had previously paid to vendors. In this manner, the system would serve as a source of information on local vendors’ pricing tactics, which are not usually open in the orthodontics industry.
In conclusion, their goal was to develop a unique system for managing medical inventories that went well beyond simple ordering and receiving.
They tried to create it, but it did not turn out nicely. Users were frustrated by the software’s flaws and began to doubt the remedy’s effectiveness. The customer desperately needed a skilled team of developers to make the necessary corrections before the window of opportunity closed.
