## Overview

Mazecare's Inventory & Supply Chain Management provides complete visibility from central warehouse to point of care. It tracks consumables, prevents stockouts, bills every item used during patient care, and eliminates revenue leakage across single and multi-site operations.

## Benefits

### For Clinics

Never run out of critical supplies. Smart low-stock alerts notify when inventory drops below configurable thresholds so you reorder before running out. Proactive expiry management alerts for expiring medications and vaccines to minimize waste.

### For Hospitals

Enterprise-wide supply chain control with multi-warehouse operations, high-value consignment inventory tracking, and seamless inter-site transfers between branches, wards, and departments with automatic inventory adjustment and audit trails.

## How It Works

1. **Intelligent Procurement** -- System generates purchase orders based on low-stock alerts and usage patterns.
2. **Goods Receipt & Verification** -- Incoming stock scanned and verified against PO with batch numbers and expiry dates recorded.
3. **Smart Storage Assignment** -- Items assigned to specific bin locations with barcode labeling.
4. **Automated Transfers** -- Stock moved to clinics, wards, or procedure rooms with automatic inventory adjustment.
5. **Point-of-Care Consumption** -- Items used during care are logged and automatically billed to patient account.
6. **Predictive Reordering** -- System analyzes usage patterns and suggests optimal reorder quantities and timing.
