Chris Phillips, CVT, Practice Manager at Pleasant Valley Veterinary Clinic, looked at inventory the way some people look at a puzzle. Nearly 1,500 products, a three-page spreadsheet he carried around the hospital, and a number he was determined to move.
A year later:
π $197,000 in COGS savings, down from 25% to 23%
π¦ $130,000 released from the shelves, cutting inventory carry by more than half
β± 3-5 hours a week back in his schedule
π Staff raises, a great Christmas party, building renovations, and a new parking lot
That last one is why we do this. Seeing a hospital tame its inventory, regain some peace of mind, and free up capital to put back into the team is the most rewarding part of our work.
Congratulations, Chris & Pleasant Valley team. Thank you for letting us be part of it π§©
