Field Inventory Management

Know where every device is. Always.

Orthopedic implants, spine trays, and trauma sets live in consignment closets, rep trunks, hospital shelves, and warehouse bins. Deviceflow gives you real-time inventory visibility across all of it — without barcode guns, new apps, or quarterly physical counts.

  • Real-time consignment tracking
  • Photo-based audits — no barcode guns
  • Automated par-level replenishment
  • Full lot and expiration tracking

I asked how many instruments we have to make complete trades. They said, 'We can send you a spreadsheet of what we have — because we don't know.'

Consignment, trunk stock, loaners — tracked automatically

Deviceflow tracks every product movement as it happens across every inventory model. Consignment at hospitals, trunk stock with reps, loaner kits in transit — one system replaces the spreadsheets, phone calls, and quarterly counts.

Location-Level Visibility

See every device across every location — warehouse shelves, consignment closets, rep trunks, loaner sets in transit. One view replaces the spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls your team uses to figure out where things are. When a surgeon asks for a specific size, you know exactly where it is in seconds.

  • Real-time view across all locations
  • Warehouse, consignment, trunk, and loaner tracking
  • Instant product search by size, lot, or location
  • Replace spreadsheets with a single dashboard

Spreadsheets vs. Deviceflow

The way most teams track inventory was designed for a world with fewer SKUs, fewer locations, and fewer regulations.

Inventory Counts
Deviceflow: Continuous photo-based reconciliation catches variances in real time
Legacy Tools: Scheduled cycle counts with barcode scanners, still weeks behind
Manual Ops: Quarterly physical counts that take weeks and still miss things
Trunk Stock
Deviceflow: Every unit tracked by location, lot, and expiration with full visibility
Legacy Tools: Basic check-in/check-out logs, no real-time location data
Manual Ops: Reps hoard stock "just in case" — $200K+ untracked
Product Lookup
Deviceflow: Search any product, see every location and quantity instantly
Legacy Tools: Search ERP records, often outdated by days
Manual Ops: 15-minute phone chain to find a single part
Expiration Tracking
Deviceflow: Alerts 90/60/30 days out with automated rotation suggestions
Legacy Tools: Monthly spreadsheet review, items still slip through
Manual Ops: Expired products discovered during surgery prep
Replenishment
Deviceflow: Par-level triggers fire automatically when cases consume inventory
Legacy Tools: Manual reorder points in ERP, often ignored
Manual Ops: By memory — "I think they need more 5.0 screws"

How it works

Deviceflow tracks every product movement as it happens — from warehouse to consignment to trunk to surgery to invoice. No manual updates. No reconciliation scrambles.

Location-level visibility

See every device across every location — warehouse shelves, consignment closets, rep trunks, loaner sets in transit. One view replaces the spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls your team uses to figure out where things are.

Photo-based reconciliation

Reps photograph trays and shelves. Deviceflow identifies products, matches to expected inventory, and flags discrepancies. A quarterly audit that used to take 5 months now takes 4 weeks.

Automated replenishment

When a case consumes inventory, replenishment triggers automatically based on par levels you set per location. No more "we ran out of the 32mm heads at St. Mary's" surprises.

Lot and expiration tracking

Every product movement captures lot numbers and expiration dates. When a recall hits or a lot expires, you know exactly where every affected unit is — in seconds, not days.

Transfer and loaner coordination

When a rep needs a set that's at another location, Deviceflow coordinates the transfer — notifying the source, tracking shipment, and updating both locations. Loaner returns get tracked the same way.

Variance detection

Compare expected vs. actual inventory at any location, any time. Deviceflow surfaces discrepancies the moment they happen — not three months later during a physical count.

The cost of inventory chaos

What does your inventory management actually cost?

Every misplaced tray, expired product, and manual count costs time and money. Adjust the sliders to see what that adds up to.

Human oversight by design

Deviceflow automates the repetitive coordination work your team shouldn't be doing manually. When a decision matters — recall execution, compliance submissions, billing exceptions — the system routes it to your team for approval. Every automated action has a complete audit trail. No irreversible decisions happen without a human in the loop.

Validated for QMSR audits

Deviceflow ships with a full GAMP5 Category 4 validation package — URS, IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, requirements traceability matrix, supplier qualification, Part 11 access provisions, and tamper-evident audit-trail exports. Walk into your next QMSR inspection with the supplier documentation already prepared. Your quality team stays focused on the device, not on validating your ops stack.
