Inventory Tool Built from Scratch

Medical supplies don't manage themselves. We built a purpose-made inventory tool for Ambulante Anästhesie Krems from scratch, with a full audit trail.

Starting point

An outpatient anesthesia practice has very specific requirements for managing its medical supplies. Items are stored across multiple locations. Consumption needs to be tracked. And in a clinical setting, knowing exactly what happened to a supply item, and when, isn't a nice-to-have. It's a requirement.

Ambulante Anästhesie Krems needed a tool that fit their actual workflow. Off-the-shelf software didn't. So we built one.

What we built

At its core are two interconnected concepts: storage locations and supply items. Staff can list, search, add, edit, and delete both. From a storage location's detail view, they see exactly which items are held there and in what quantity. From a supply item's detail view, they see across which locations it's distributed.

The key actions are consume and restock, recording that a supply was used or replenished. For certain items, numeric fill levels allow more granular tracking than a simple in/out.

Every action (consume, refill, restock, delete, export) is captured in a full audit log. Nothing disappears without a trace. The log is there precisely for the moments when you need to know exactly what happened.

The system also includes user management with role-based access and a personal notes page where staff can record anything that doesn't fit elsewhere.

How we built it

The existing system served as a reference point, not as a migration source but as a basis to build against. The new tool was developed from scratch and replaced the old system completely at go-live. Everything was reviewed in a staging environment first so the client could sign off before launch.

Ambulante Anästhesie Krems now has a tool that matches how they actually work: purpose-built, straightforward to use, and traceable by design. Accountability is built in, not added on after the fact.
