The Mission
SupplAI is a custom AI-powered supply chain management system designed specifically for the healthcare industry, with a focus on medium-sized hospitals. The system optimizes hospital inventory by analyzing resource usage data from the past 2-6 months and providing forecasts for the next two months. SupplAI helps prevent overordering, thereby increasing the hospital's overall efficiency. In the future, additional features such as financial management and time management tools will be integrated. What sets SupplAI apart is its ability to offer tailored solutions, customized to meet the specific needs of each hospital.
The Challenge
The problem we are addressing is the limited availability of medical care and supplies in hospitals, a challenge that became glaringly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many hospitals were unprepared for the influx of patients, and even in the aftermath, facilities in Bavaria and elsewhere continue to struggle to meet patient needs effectively. This is largely due to inefficient supply chain management, which often leads to stock shortages and overordering.
The solution
Our proposed solution is SupplAI, an AI-powered supply chain management system specifically designed for medium-sized hospitals. SupplAI optimizes inventory by analyzing the hospital’s resource needs over the past 2-6 months and provides accurate forecasts for the next two months. By preventing overordering, it enhances hospital efficiency and reduces waste. Additionally, SupplAI creates a new ecosystem for managing supplies not only within individual hospitals but also between neighboring hospitals, allowing them to coordinate and share resources as needed to ensure patient needs are always met. The system is fully customizable, tailored to the unique requirements of each hospital. Future enhancements will include financial and time management tools, further boosting operational effectiveness.
