AeroMD uses Smartsheet to track medical supplies

Smartsheet is a key component of AeroMD's commitment to using technology to improve situational awareness to inform its planning and emergency response.

The threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic prompted AeroMD to accelerate its effort to more efficiently track and source medical supplies such as respirators and isolation equipment for transporting infected patients. Alex Franklin and his team built an inventory and supply chain dashboard that shows what supplies have been ordered, when they’re due to arrive in a particular location, which items are backordered, when shipments are received, and whether the items match what was actually ordered. Automated alerts and color-coding indicate when items drop below a designated minimum so new supplies can be sourced and secured.

Our experience with the COVID-19 dashboard really forced us to look at our inventory management system in a new way... Because of what we’ve developed specifically for COVID, we’re actually going to employ that for the daily use of all supplies in the future, and give those teams access to these dashboards.
