The healthcare industry depends on timely access to critical supplies—from pharmaceuticals and surgical equipment to diagnostics and personal protective gear. As demand patterns shift and regulations evolve, the importance of a flexible and reliable distribution process has never been greater. That’s where Axolt comes in.
Axolt helps healthcare and pharmaceutical distributors stay compliant, agile, and connected throughout the entire supply chain—ensuring the right products reach the right locations at the right time.
Key Challenges in Healthcare Distribution
Healthcare distribution is unlike any other sector. It requires precision, visibility, and regulatory adherence across all touchpoints. Common challenges include:
- Product traceability: The need to track medications and devices across the supply chain for safety and recall purposes.
- Expiry and batch control: Accurate management of expiry dates and batch numbers is critical to patient safety.
- Regulatory compliance: Distributors must follow strict guidelines like FDA, HIPAA, and DSCSA, often across multiple regions.
- Demand volatility: Seasonal surges, public health emergencies, and unpredictable orders make forecasting difficult.
- Inventory balance: Overstocking risks expiry losses, while understocking risks delayed treatment and lost revenue.
Axolt addresses all of these pain points through an integrated, intelligent, and healthcare-focused ERP solution.
