挑战
Miakomo, a manufacturer of respirators, facemasks, and filters, faced a significant challenge in keeping up with the high volume of sales triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company needed a solution to increase their manufacturing efficiency. They decided to implement Fishbowl software, a tool familiar to one of their co-founders, Chandler McFarland. The implementation process involved integrating ShipStation, Shopify, and QuickBooks Online with Fishbowl, deciding on the necessary manufacturing tools in Fishbowl to align with their processes, handling their fulfillment process and integrating with their third-party logistics (3PL) warehouse, and scheduling training for their personnel.
关于客户
Miakomo is a manufacturer of respirators, facemasks, and filters. Their reusable facemasks are unique because they can use any type of filter, and they are more durable than other N95 masks. The company faced a significant increase in demand for their products at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chandler McFarland, a co-founder of Miakomo, had previous experience with Fishbowl software and knew that it would be the ideal solution to help them increase their manufacturing efficiency. The company is based in Lehi, Utah.
解决方案
Fishbowl provided a dedicated trainer to help Miakomo get up and running with the software. The trainer helped set up a phone call to understand Miakomo's needs and identified the tasks that needed to be completed. The training was conducted virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions, which saved travel time and expenses. The trainer provided an in-depth training session on how the Fishbowl software works, outlined the various modules and features, and explained how the modules work together. The trainer also helped build Miakomo’s database, which involved entering the company’s numerous parts, products, bills of materials, customers, vendors, warehouse locations, and user logins and permissions. The trainer also helped them configure, set up, and integrate the ShipStation and Shopify plugins with Fishbowl, and tested the software by creating and sending a live purchase order to a vendor within Fishbowl and then receiving a live purchase order within Fishbowl from a pre-existing purchase order.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
