How North Mississippi Health Services saves $8 million a year with self-distribution
About NMHS
Like most hospitals, North Mississippi Health Services wanted better margins and more efficient operations. With supply chain as hospitals’ second-largest expense after labor, it was the natural place to start. NMHS moved to self-distribution, buying in bulk directly from manufacturers and managing its own inventory with Tecsys’ healthcare WMS. The change saves NMHS $8 million a year and lifted its fill rate to 99.98%, without adding staff.
