Inventory intelligence
Inventory intelligence connected to the surgical schedule
Next week’s supply needs are already sitting in your booked schedule — the storeroom just never hears about it. Perivanta links supply planning, preference cards, and purchasing to the cases you’ve actually booked.
Perivanta is in development with founding design partners — this page describes the capability we’re building together.
Supplies are managed on memory in a business run on margin
After labor, supplies are the biggest cost line in an ASC — implants, specialized equipment, and consumables, often specified surgeon-by-surgeon through preference cards. Yet inventory in most centers is managed with static PAR levels, manual counts, and cards nobody has audited since they were created.
The costs compound quietly: capital tied up in overstock, redundant SKUs doing the same job at different prices, expired product written off, and a case delayed because the one item that mattered wasn’t there. Without demand forecasting or purchasing analytics, every one of those problems gets discovered instead of prevented — and cost per case creeps up.
What Perivanta does for your supply chain
Perivanta treats the booked schedule as a demand signal — and works backward from it to what should be ordered, stocked, and standardized.
Schedule-driven demand forecasting
Reads the upcoming case schedule against preference cards to forecast what each week actually requires — so supplies arrive because cases are booked, not because a shelf looked low.
Preference card analytics
Compares cards across surgeons for the same procedure, surfacing variation, outdated items, and opportunities to standardize without touching clinical judgment.
Cost-per-case visibility
Ties supply usage back to cases, so you can see true supply cost per case by procedure, surgeon, and payer — the number that connects the storeroom to the P&L.
Reorder recommendations
Recommends order timing and quantities from forecast demand instead of static PAR levels — trimming both stockouts and overstock.
SKU and vendor consolidation
Identifies redundant SKUs and fragmented purchasing across vendors, and quantifies what consolidation would be worth before you negotiate.
Expiration and waste tracking
Flags at-risk stock before it expires and tracks waste patterns back to their source — cards, ordering habits, or case mix.
Your materials manager gets an analyst, not another system to feed
Perivanta is designed to work with the inventory and materials management tools your center already uses, reading the data they hold rather than demanding double entry. Counts, receiving, and purchasing workflows stay where they are.
Preference cards remain clinical documents owned by your surgeons and clinical team. Perivanta’s role is to put evidence behind the standardization conversation — what varies, what it costs, and where surgeons themselves may be happy to align.
Common questions
- Does Perivanta replace our inventory management system?
- No. Perivanta is an intelligence layer that reads from your existing inventory and ASC management systems. Counts, receiving, and purchasing stay in your current tools — Perivanta adds the demand forecasting and analytics they don’t have.
- What is a preference card, and why do they drift?
- A preference card lists the supplies, instruments, and setup a specific surgeon wants for a specific procedure. They drift because they’re created once and rarely audited — surgeons change technique, products change, and the card keeps ordering the old world. Drifted cards are one of the most common hidden costs in ASC supply chains.
- Can this help with implant cost and billing?
- Yes, at the intersection: Perivanta ties implant usage to cases for cost-per-case analysis, and its revenue capture capability flags implants that were used but never billed — the same data, protecting both sides of the margin.
- We’re single-specialty with a small storeroom. Is there enough here for us?
- Single-specialty centers often have the most concentrated opportunity — high volumes of similar cases make variation between preference cards and vendors easy to quantify and worth real money to standardize.
