Track and manage your dental supplies

How do you keep track of your dental office's supply inventory? Every productive dental office needs accurate inventory management to ensure the right materials are available at the right time, but it can be a challenge to figure out how.

Inventory

The Method procurement platform supports you at each step

If your dental office relies on a manual inventory system, you know how time-consuming the process can be. From regularly counting stock to contacting suppliers, manual inventory requires your team to divert much of their attention, and a manual process still leaves room for human error.

Easy inventory management for dentists may feel like wishful thinking, but Method delivers. With our dental office supplies inventory system, you can automate your processes and significantly reduce the time spent taking stock and ordering new supplies. Our software covers every stage of inventory management so that you can streamline your processes for better results.

Create and Manage a Stock List

An up-to-date stock list is key for running a productive dental practice. Search our industry catalog of more than 750,000 unique dental and medical products to quickly set up your active stock list. By utilizing our extensive product catalog, you can sidestep endless supplier research in your search for the right products. Your office will have access to the industry’s best products and resources at all times.

Track Your Stock Levels

A supply shortage could lead to a loss of patient revenue. On the other hand, having too much inventory causes waste, takes up space, and ties up cash unnecessarily. Knowing what you have and where it’s located will help you strike the perfect balance.

Reorder Supplies

Method alerts you when stock is low and it’s time to reorder, ensuring you always have your most critical supplies on hand. Managing all of your items from every supplier in a single workflow streamlines the reordering process to save time and money.

Receive and Store

When a product arrives, it’s important to get an accurate count before moving it to its designated storage area. As supplies are used, Method makes it easy to update quantities to maintain an up-to-date stock list.
