Capabilities
What Planning & Resupply does
Consumption-based resupply
Calculate replenishment from average monthly consumption and stock limits, accounting for seasonality and stockout periods so low recorded use does not automatically mean low demand.
Review & approval
Review quantities, correct requests and approve replenishment before creating transfers or connected ERP orders.
Forecast from care needs
Estimate supply quantities and costs from expected caseloads and treatment protocols to support clinical service planning.
Treatment protocols
Use agreed treatment protocols consistently across supply forecasts and dispensing suggestions.
Pareto & ABC analysis
Identify items that account for the greatest cost and consumption, with outputs to support planning and procurement.
Costed plans and connected orders
Use agreed prices and blanket purchase agreements to cost plans, and send reservations to connected ERP or warehousing systems.
The challenge
Where visibility makes a difference
Buying more does not always improve availability. Reliable replenishment starts with what is being used, what remains and where it is held.
Low usage can conceal unmet demand
An item cannot be dispensed while it is out of stock. PIMS accounts for stockout periods so recorded consumption provides a better basis for replenishment.
Excess stock ties up funds
Ordering more than a site can use commits funds and storage space, while dated products may expire before they are needed.
New orders overlook available stock
Before buying more, check for suitable stock elsewhere in your network. Resolutions helps teams assess redistribution options.
Why teams rely on it
Built around the realities of daily operations.
- Flexible replenishment: use central allocation or location-led requests to suit your operation.
- Controlled planning with submission, approval, rejection and reversal steps.
- Use available stock first with Resolutions before considering new purchases.
- Shareable forecasts support procurement, budget reviews and reporting.
