Medical store software keeps track of your supplies and medical equipment so that you can spend more time helping the community you serve.

With numerous customers to service, orders to fill, and supplies that need to be kept in stock, you need medical store software that can help you keep organized and operationally sound. You need to be able to answer those important questions and give instruction and advice while easing the uncertainty and fears of your customers.

Need to improve your customer service while reducing costs? Here are 7 ways medical store software can help:

Customer Management

Medical store software can help you log specific details about your customers, such as sizing information, the equipment they have rented, consumables that they have purchased, and even health benefits information.

You can also easily look up their service or purchase history by searching for:
  • Name
  • Phone number

  • Email address
  • Keyword

Once they are in the system, you can input and edit their information, add them to your mailing list, and view any additional information that is important to their medical purchase history.  You can also print out any information they need to know about a particular piece of equipment along with their invoice.
