Webinar: H.R. 3204, The Drug Quality and Security Act and What It Means For You.

H.R 3204 has passed and the coming changes will affect for your company. Join us for a brief webinar, where we will take you through some of the highlights of the bill,  the coming affect on the Healthcare Supply Chain, and some innovative software solutions to help you navigate the regulatory maze.

This legislation would strengthen the prescription drug supply chain in order to protect American families against counterfeit drugs. The bill also would help prevent increases in drug prices, avoid additional drug shortages, and eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars worth of duplicative government red tape on American businesses that is harming job growth.

So you go to the store and how many of us have heard that phrase from our kids? You buy the product and it sits on the shelf and no one ever uses it.  Well at home it's only our budgets that get affected but as a distributor every time a salesman or an inventory manager tells you "We need it!!" , its costing you money.. 

One Solution to the problem... Come to our user meeting and learn how to find those items and clean them up using our Inventory Analysis Tools. 

 Inventory Management – This session will explore the expanded purchasing capabilities incorporated into MDS. The objective is to identify the vendors and products in need of replenishment. The Inventory Management module attempts to minimize inventory investment while reducing stock outs and backorders.

TSH Director of Professional Services, Julianne Rauco will be presenting our Inventory Management System including our Inventory Analysis Tool used to identify items that can be eliminated from inventory.  

"The analysis identifies all stock items that are contributing less than 1%, or 5%, or

whatever level you select of the sales.  You could get rid of all those items and risk

losing only 1% of the sales you experienced during the last 12 months.  A branch

manager might really want to argue this statement.  "We have to keep that stock

item to assure that we'll get the good stuff that Company X buys from us !"  No

problem.  Keep it.  Keep every one of the items someone can give a specific reason

for retaining.  But get rid of the rest.  The fact is, they are contributing nothing!

- In too many distributor's inventories, as much as 30% or 40% of the total investment

may be below the 100% sales line.  Zero turns per year.  No sales activity at all.

Obviously, these are the candidates for disposition.  Realistically, you should cut

more deeply.  "

Items below the 98% sales line ought to be dropped from stock as a

general rule.

Join us at our user meeting for more information on this and other  important topics.

Convenience Fee? No Problem..

MDS Offers additional credit card integration platforms

As a result of long-standing litigation against the cards brands, merchants are now permitted to charge customers a surcharge for paying with a credit card. Ten states still prohibit surcharging, and surcharges are still not allowed on signature and pin debit transactions.  Your business can charge customers a credit card fee, but there's a maze of rules, exceptions and even state laws to navigate to ensure you stay compliant with the terms of your merchant processing agreement.

OK so i lied... you got me, but like it or not many customers are demanding to use their cards more and more often, One approach is to find the best deal and stick with that processor, 

By adding the flexibility to allow you to connect to multiple processing gateways for each company in the MDS system you now have the leverage to negotiate with your bank and payment processor. 

While it's not the best solution, we can offer help to make sure you now have the right partner for credit card processing.
