Inventory Optimization

Inventory Optimization So You Never Run Out, Never Overbuy

Q: What are common inventory issues for dental practices?

Common inventory issues include stockout emergencies that disrupt patient care and force expensive rush orders, overstocking that ties up capital in slow-moving inventory that eventually expires, manual counting that provides unreliable data for purchasing decisions, and shrinkage from theft, misplacement, and waste that goes completely undetected.

Q: What results can dental practices expect from Method's inventory optimization?

Independent and small group practices can reduce inventory levels by 20-30% while never feeling they're missing supplies and eliminate stockout emergencies. Growing practices can standardize inventory across operatories with location-specific reorder points. Enterprise/Elite DSOs can centralize inventory management across all locations with enterprise-wide policies and leverage bulk purchasing through coordinated ordering.

With effective insight into your practices’ inventory, Method helps eliminate waste while ensuring availability.

The biggest things Method gives me are direct visibility and accountability. I can see if a practice orders 50 implants and let them know they don't need that. Before Method, I couldn't.
