Medical device logistics requires that every unit shipped can be traced to a batch, a serial and an expiry, and that a recall can be executed from the stock record. A warehouse management system enforces that at the point of picking rather than reconstructing it from paperwork afterwards.
BizBloqs provide accurate and effective operational solutions to the healthcare industry that improve the speed of delivery and help manage the complexity of stock and inventory for medicine and other healthcare supplies. No matter the complexity of labels, requirements of traceability or MDR compliance, BizBloqs provides the custom workflow that is needed for a seamless combination of people and technology. We reduce human errors and take stress out of the processes, because we understand the critical needs of the people helping outher people.
New to this topic? Start with the complete warehouse management system (WMS) guide — what a WMS does, what it costs and how a rollout works.
Traceability plays a large part in the future of healthcare. As privacy and legal frameworks get updated, serial numbers and batch numbers need to be carefully tracked and inventory has to be accounted for at all times. It also allows you to block, partially release and fully release batches exactly as per your requirements.
Extend your stock control and replenishment process onto the ward and even remote locations using VMI processes and effective cycle counting procedures. Define the process for inbound checks and keep perfect track of its results.
Record material inflows and outflows accurately to provide full traceability across all types of inventory and perform well in operational audits.
Configure workflows specifically for your unique work environment with the ability to manage shelflife as well as the limitations and restrictions to issue certain stock on demand.
The BizBloqs technology stack features a data connector layer that allows product and inventory information to be shared with suppliers and trading partners to maintain lifesaving standard also when managing the goods of the trade.
UDI and lot data are captured on paper and re-keyed into the ERP
Unique device identifiers, lots and expiry scanned once at goods receipt and carried through every subsequent movement
A recall means days of reconstructing where devices went
Upward and downward traceability turns a recall into a query: which lot, which customer, which shipment, which date
Consignment stock at hospitals is invisible until it is invoiced
Customer-located stock tracked as your inventory with its own counts and usage reporting, so replenishment and billing follow real consumption
Short-dated sterile stock is discovered after it expires
First-expired-first-out enforced on every pick, with configurable warning horizons before stock becomes unsellable
Audit preparation takes a team away from the operation for a week
Every action recorded against user, location and timestamp, so an inspection is a report rather than a reconstruction

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
