About the customer
United Allergy Services is a leading provider of ancillary allergy testing and
immunotherapy services, primarily serving primary care and ENT physicians.
Founded in 2009, the company has grown to manage extensive inventory
and logistics for allergy treatments across numerous remote locations.
Their business strategy focuses on enhancing patient care through
innovative solutions and efficient supply chain management.
Navigating complex allergy management
United Allergy Services faced significant challenges in managing their extensive
inventory of allergy testing and immunotherapy supplies across numerous remote
locations. As Mary Ellen Ault, Senior Director of Technology Services, explained,
“We needed a very detailed and robust data structure to manage the tracking of
antigens and extracts used in allergy tests and treatments.” The company required
a solution that could handle the intricate logistics of supplying and tracking medical
products to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance.
Implementing GLOVIA® OM for streamlined operations
To address these challenges, United Allergy Services turned to Fujitsu GLOVIA® OM, a solution seamlessly integrated with their existing Salesforce ecosystem.
This implementation allowed for precise inventory management and tracking of
medical supplies. John Patrick, Salesforce Administrator, highlighted the importance of this integration: “We needed to have extremely accurate tracking about what that is, where it came from, and when it expires.” The system enabled the company to monitor inventory levels, generate purchase orders, and ensure that clinics were adequately supplied without manual intervention.
Improved efficiency and patient care
The implementation of GLOVIA® OM resulted in significant improvements in
operational efficiency and patient care. The ability to track inventory down to the lot number ensured that United Allergy Services could quickly respond to any product recalls, enhancing patient safety. “The inventory management piece of it is extremely important for us,” noted Mary Ellen Ault. Additionally, the automated reorder process allowed clinics to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks. This streamlined approach not only improved efficiency but also supported the company’s mission of changing lives through better allergy management.
