Short Description: An AI-powered procurement platform for hospitals and clinics that optimizes purchasing, reduces waste, and increases operational efficiency for physician-administered medications and devices. It integrates with billing and EHR systems, forecasts demand, flags inefficiencies, and supports a compliant secondary marketplace for unused inventory.
Lessons Learned: We initially believed waste and inefficiency stemmed mainly from poor forecasting tools and fragmented procurement systems. Through customer discovery, we learned the dominant pains are payer-mandated bagging rules and incorrect upstream routing, compounded by siloed pharmacy, supply chain, and revenue cycle operations. We now focus on routing logic, reimbursement-focused workflows, and real-time inventory visibility across sites.
