Client: Optimé Supply Chain is an innovative leader in healthcare materials management, supply chain design, application development, and mathematical optimization modeling. Their mission is to help clients address complex supply chain challenges through a robust suite of solutions.
Challenge: The healthcare supply chain is fraught with complex challenges, including regulatory reforms, reimbursement cuts, and a rising demand for transparency and accountability from consumers. Addressing these requires a holistic approach that not only improves operational efficiency but also controls costs, boosts revenue, and elevates care quality. Additional critical challenges for the healthcare supply chain include delivering accurate data insights to satisfy stakeholders, engaging stakeholders in expense management, and resolving complex supplier bid analytics.
Optimé Supply Chain sought a development partner with domain expertise in supply chain design, sourcing, and optimization to build an innovative solution that could address these issues. SSI partnered with Optimé Supply Chain to co-develop a powerful web-based platform tailored to these needs.
Solution: SSI’s team of engineers and data scientists designed a comprehensive SaaS-based healthcare supply chain optimization solution featuring a suite of web applications and tech-enabled services. The customized solution is adaptable, easily integrates with existing systems, and provides strategic workflow and optimization capabilities.
The platform features two core suites: Strategic Sourcing Optimization and Inventory Optimization:
- Strategic Sourcing Optimization Suite: This suite includes two flagship applications, SmartPROCUREMENT™ and SmartWORKFLOW™. SmartPROCUREMENT™ handles complex supplier bid analytics and fosters streamlined stakeholder communication. SmartWORKFLOW™ supports contract lifecycle management, strategic sourcing, and project savings tracking, enhancing the strategic sourcing process.
- Inventory Optimization Suite: Featuring SmartINVENTORY™, this suite delivers demand forecasting and inventory optimization tools. Health systems can more accurately align supply levels with patient demand, reducing overall inventory costs.
Result: SSI’s supply chain optimization software empowered Optimé Supply Chain’s clients to significantly reduce costs through price concessions, maximize incentives, and minimize waste. Healthcare providers now benefit from enhanced stakeholder engagement, improved supplier collaboration, and higher-quality care delivery, effectively transforming their supply chain management into a competitive advantage.
