About The Customer
Mary’s Medicinals is a company that operates at the intersection of technology and horticulture. They are one of the leading manufacturers and wholesalers of cannabis-based nutraceutical products. With more than 80 employees, they manufacture and sell their products in 11 states where cannabis products are legal. Their product line includes topicals, pain relief gels and balms, transdermal patches, tinctures, oils, and vape cartridges. The company does not grow cannabis plants or extract from plants. Instead, they buy extracts from their partners and infuse their recipes to make the actual products sold through licensed cannabis retailers.
The Challenge
Mary’s Medicinals, a leading manufacturer and wholesaler of cannabis-based nutraceutical products, was facing challenges with their inventory management. They had to manually count inventory each week, which was causing problems when it came to accurately forecasting material and production needs. The company needed a tool that could automate this process and provide accurate forecasts. Additionally, they needed to track the potency of the cannabis oil they used in their products, not just its volume.
The Solution
Mary’s Medicinals started using Fishbowl Manufacturing to address their inventory management challenges. Initially, they had a hard time getting it to do what they really needed it to do. They worked with Fishbowl to develop a customized plugin that would accurately track their oil inventory based on active grams instead of just total mass. This was very important to them since they needed to track the potency of the oil that they were using. The plugin provided a button that allowed for the measurement of the potency of the oil, a key aspect of each of their products since they are determined by potency of oil used – not just volume of oil. Mary’s connected their Fishbowl data to their CRM to take orders. They also integrated it with their QuickBooks files and set it up on their hosted environment.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
