Situation

This healthcare provider had grown by acquisition. Many locations still processed payroll and managed medical supplies inventory manually. A team of 30 was dedicated to payroll, which took two weeks to prepare. Troubleshooting an error could take as long as a week.

Inventory levels were too high or too low and inaccurate patient charges for medical supplies were common. Since each location ordered independently, they missed out on volume discounts.
