I manage a surgery center. We do not sell any product, just services. For instance we may charge $750 for a minor surgical procedure as a global charge. We use many supplies, more with the COVID pandemic. We used to do quick periodic inventories and order supplies. Now, we have so much more with the additional use of PPE. We also have to manage our inventory in greater detail due to periodic shortages of masks etc. Can we use barcode scanning and the advanced inventory to help? I have watched videos and read more than I wanted to and every resource focuses on point of sale and manufacturing, I just want to change my items to inventory items and do a weekly physical inventory and compare this to what we want on hand to assist in ordering. Any suggestions?
