The award profiles innovative case study-type projects designed to automate, optimize, streamline and improve the supply chain.

[…] It's these partnerships that have enabled many supply chain organizations to better manage inventory, reduce costs, retain employees, track data and analytics and build resilience for whatever disruptions may lie ahead." 

The collaboration between Tecsys and Parkview Health has led to end-to-end transparency into all supply purchases and inventory, including medical/surgical supplies and pharmaceuticals. This has enabled Parkview Health to drive down costs, increase efficiencies, and capitalize on savings opportunities, while ensuring clinicians have the products they need for patient care.
