Spacesaver® Partners with LogiTag As North American Distributor
Posted by Kacia Gillette on Mon, Sep 19, 2011
Spacesaver is excited to announce a partnership with LogiTag Systems, Inc., a company specializing in RFID technology for several industries including the healthcare market. The two companies are joining forces to assist healthcare facilities in North America with improving their business practices and patient care efforts. This partnership is the perfect marrying of technology and organizational products for improved healthcare asset tracking, inventory control, patient workflow, safety and security.
“Spacesaver is extremely excited to offer LogiTag products along side our Spacesaver storage solutions. Working together our solutions will free up healthcare staff so they can spend more time with patients and less time searching for supplies. Our distributors now have access to complimentary products, which will simplify their healthcare customers’ processes and make an immediate impact to their organizations,” said Jason Freeman, Vice President of Commercial Business at Spacesaver.
Featured in the product suite are LogiTag's StockBox, Smart Cabinet, LogiTrack, and Smart Sense.
LogiTag's StockBox is a generously adaptable inventory management product that can be integrated into existing Spacesaver shelving and numerous other areas. RFID technology allows the StockBox to manage its inventory, which increases productivity while decreasing cost. Counting is the most time consuming and expensive task associated with restocking (par replenishment). However, StockBox’s automation allows dispensable requests and off site monitoring results in an overall streamlined process.
The Smart Cabinet is a system designed to manage the storage, distribution, replenishment and usage of high-cost medical devices and products that require individual tracking through an automated process, designed to work in the operating room and interventional lab environment. The management of consigned items, automated billing and replenishment capabilities, and ability to track specific item usage to address regulatory and risk management issues, are only part of this product, which has been used successfully in dozens of hospitals worldwide.
LogiTrack is a powerful RTLS Active-RFID platform that includes a diversified set of tracking, tracing and monitoring applications. A unified platform enables tracking assets, tracking people, monitoring temperature and pressure and providing reliable location information to improve operational efficiencies across the healthcare spectrum. LogiTrack's tools and information are critical to any healthcare institution and their desire to ensure maximum operational efficiency while improving patient care.
“There are tremendous savings opportunities in the healthcare market for asset and supply management and tracking. In many cases, up to fifteen percent of a hospital’s inventory is written off each year because it can no longer be located. And, some hospital’s are losing as much as $1 million a year in medical equipment and supplies to thefts,” said Milissa Rick, Director of Marketing for Commercial Business at Spacesaver. “With our combined healthcare solutions for asset and supply management and tracking, Spacesaver and LogiTag offer healthcare organizations a fast return on investment.”
In addition to inventory and high-value asset tracking, LogiTag also has patient tracking solutions. Smart-Sense provides a uniquely high means of security for infants using state-of-the-art RFID technology. Newborn security is a serious issue and the safety and peace of mind that “Smart-Sense” brings to parents and administrators is an important tool to address any hospital's risk management concerns.
Through our partnership, hospitals that invest in Spacesaver’s and LogiTag’s solutions will have the right products, at the right place, at the right time, for the right patient! A winning combination for everyone.
