The Materials Management and Inventory Control System were specifically designed to support the unique demands of Healthcare Materials Management. The Materials Management system provides support and effective control for purchasing, inventory, and distribution of all supplies and services.  Purchases are initiated under a variety of conditions for inventory items, non-inventory items, contract services, and other recurring or "standing" agreements. 

The system is flexible, identifies vendor options, and ensures optimal terms and conditions are considered.  Users have access to a variety of reports that can provide them with purchasing control and vendor/product performance analysis.  Online processing of inventory transactions ensures accurate balances with an unlimited number of storage locations.

Full exchange cart and requisition logic are included.  Usage of inventory and non-inventory items is tracked by item and cost center to support usage projections and performance analysis. It logs receipt of vendor sheets, prints labels including safe handling instructions, and prints Hazardous Materials catalogs and listings.
