Material Management system (MMS) is a complete solution to control day-to-day supply chain operations. MMS tracks each and every item down to individual item units anywhere in the laboratory and covers the complete material life cycle from initial receiving (check-in) till disposal. To do this the system tracks items in areas where traditional ERP/Stock systems can’t reach inside lab analysis locations, fridges, on board of analyzers and disposal bins. Laboratories are under pressure to increase productivity and reduce costs. To do more with less resources. Materials costs, mainly reagent, stand for 40-65 % of laboratories operating costs. Optimizing the purchase, stocking and consumption of all materials has become a vital necessity to sustain and expand operations while exercising firm cost control. Main Features: · Track each individual material, mainly reagent, from receiving, storing and usage till disposal. · Real time inventory for all locations like store, lab unit or fridge in different locations including satellites. · Monitor stock in stores, sub stores, lab fridges and even onboard of analyzers. · Immediate locating of expired or near expiry items. · GS1 standards compliant.
