"The costs and the time associated with manual inventory tracking methodsthat are commonly used by medical implant manufacturers are extremely high anddo not protect from errors or misuse of these expensive products," saidSkyeTek CEO Rob Balgley. "Typically, it is people on the sales team for themanufacturers who are tasked with conducting manual inventory counts, whichleads to less time spent out in the field selling and generating new revenue.With the help of SkyeTek, these manufacturers and distributors are able togreatly reduce the costs and time associated with inventory tracking, allowingthe sales team to focus on selling versus managing inventory counts."

Hospitals are increasingly shifting the onus to medical implantmanufacturers and their distributors to sell on consignment and/or manageinventory on behalf of the hospital. When selling on consignment or throughVMI programs, medical implant manufacturers and distributors experience commonpains associated with manual, bar-code based inventory tracking methods,including inaccurate inventory, shrinkage and slow billing.
With the help of SkyeTek, implants are now able to be tracked based ondigital signatures to prevent counterfeiting and programmable metadata such asmanufacture date, manufacture site, lot number, and expiration date for age-sensitive products.
