The primary aim of every hospital is to ensure a seamless patient experience and the highest quality of treatment while reducing the cost of operation. Ineffective asset management strategies, however, are the biggest barrier to achieving this feat.

This is where VendNovation makes a difference. For the past two decades, VendNovation has been providing cloud-based automated vending solutions across the globe for asset management and inventory control tracking everything from IT Tech Items to Medical supplies. It enables emergency medical service providers, whether public, private or hospital based, to save a significant amount of money, allowing them to reduce shrink, control personnel access to medical supplies, maintain real-time transaction records and audit logs, cut down inventory carrying costs, and ensure revenue recovery for the supplies they used on a specific call.

“We enable clients to accomplish their objectives while meeting current DEA regulations for narcotic storage and control and FDA requirements for tracking chain of custody,” says Emily Kay Fischer, sales director of VendNovation. “Most importantly, we provide our solutions at a lower price point when compared to the competitors.”

At the heart of VendNovation’s cloud vending solution is VN Cloud. This enterprise-grade cloud management software solution enables centralized control over vending deployments of all sizes. It is scalable, customizable, and can be accessed via clients’ preferred web browsers.

The company has also designed VN Connectors that connect any in-the-field equipment to VN Cloud at minimal cost and effort and log every single transaction detail. Consequently, organizations, even with older pieces of equipment, can seamlessly manage inventory, have all the alerts, and access analytics details.

VendNovation’s cloud-based platform helps report every transaction based on date, time, and the end user. The generated reports can be downloaded in different formats, including Excel, XML, and PDF. The solution provides alerts whenever a set protocol is broken. For example, if a client stores a temperature-sensitive item, the solution can log the temperature every 30 mins and send alerts in case of any violation.

VendNovation also offers distinct web service platforms. For example, it has an EMS platform specifically designed to meet DEA rules for controlling drug storage and tracking expiration dates.

VendNovation’s comprehensive platform has been used by multiple emergency medical service providers. For instance, the company has completed a proof of concept in the Virginia Beach area to determine if by placing a VendNovation web-based dispensing unit in the ED EMS providers could easily restock after a call and track the supply usage to a specific medical record number. The customer was able to drastically reduce their inventory carrying costs and reduce overall EMS supply consumption. Apart from this, many public health agencies have utilized VendNovation’s solutions to serve the underserved population.

What makes VendNovation stand out among its competitors is its experience of working across a wide range of market segments with different tech companies. This equips the company with the flexibility to truly comprehend the needs of its clients. Moving forward, VendNovation aims to be on an innovation trajectory by being responsive to customers’ requirements and treating them with care and urgency.
