How Family Care Medical Services Modernized Healthcare Inventory and Finance with Out-of-the-Box Business Central

At-a-Glance
Family Care Medical Services (FCMS) — prominent US healthcare provider operating comprehensive primary care clinics, diagnostic centers, and outpatient medical facilities.
CHALLENGE:
Required a single, unified enterprise system to handle both corporate healthcare finance and medical inventory. Needed to modernize clinical supply procurement, optimize supply chains, and tighten stock controls without disruptive custom software builds.
SOLUTION:
Intelegain implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central using a standardized out-of-the-box deployment model, configuring the Financial Management module for automated accounting and deploying Inventory and Supply Chain modules for medical purchasing.
RESULTS:
Unified corporate finance and healthcare inventory onto a single platform, accelerated deployment time-to-value, streamlined medical supply purchasing, and established optimal clinical stock controls.
The Challenge: Fragmented Clinic Procurement and Clinical Inventory Risks
In outpatient healthcare and multi-clinic medical services, clinical quality and patient outcomes depend directly on the continuous availability of pharmaceuticals, diagnostic kits, surgical disposables, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Family Care Medical Services (FCMS) managed financial accounting in a basic accounting package while clinical supplies and medical equipment orders were tracked manually across clinic locations. Clinic managers frequently ordered medical supplies in an uncoordinated, emergency fashion to prevent stockouts, paying premium supplier rush fees.
Without integration between clinical purchasing and corporate accounting, FCMS leadership struggled with budget variances and delayed expense tracking. FCMS needed a single enterprise platform to unify finance and supply chains, but wanted to avoid the delays and costs of bespoke custom development.
Need for a single, unified enterprise system to handle corporate healthcare finance and medical inventory.
