Testimonials

A powerful cost-saving tool within virtually any hospital department that uses large stocks of clinical supplies, SpaceTRAX® is benefiting clinicians and department managers across the country by greatly expediting and simplifying their jobs.

SpaceTRAX is particularly well suited for catheterization labs, interventional radiology departments, endoscopy departments, and OR units.

Within two years of implementing SpaceTRAX, the interventional radiology department at Sutter Medical Center had reduced their inventory by $1.2 million. 

“We were keeping track of over a million dollars worth of inventory with a clipboard, paper, and pencil.  With SpaceTRAX, we’ve been able to stop what I call ‘comfort buying,’ and we don’t have excess inventory lying around. The proof is in the numbers.”

In just one year using SpaceTRAX, the cardiac cath lab at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center was able to reduce its inventory by 33%.

“We used to go from room to room and eyeball what products were used after each procedure. It was the ‘use one, order one’ approach. With SpaceTRAX, our inventory management process has been simplified, and we now use and trust par levels to ensure we have the supplies we need on hand.”

Before SpaceTRAX, the IR department at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics was relying on manual methods to keep track of an extensive inventory of medical devices and supplies—and losing thousands of dollars in the process. 

“In our first six months with SpaceTRAX, we have come to rely on and trust our information. Prior to SpaceTRAX, people would panic when they would see only one or two of a particular item on a shelf. Now, we know that’s the way it should be. With most vendors shipping next day, par levels have been set to minimize on-hand inventory levels.”

Since implementing SpaceTRAX, Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center has been able to bring in higher-dollar products for complicated procedures while keeping costs down.

“In the past, we’d see our inventory costs grow as we stocked more expensive supplies, especially in the case of neurological procedures. But with SpaceTRAX, we actually reduced our inventory by $280,000 in the first year and we’ve been able to maintain that.”
