BackBone's Inventory Management module, along with the integrated Purchasing module, provides a complete Materials Management Solution for hospitals. Inventory automatically records and manages in real time all changes in stock levels throughout the hospital. If modules such as Laboratory, Pharmacy, Cardiology, Radiology, Master Health Check-up, or any other modules are added to the system, then these also become part of the supply chain within the institution and are also reflected in the Inventory Management Module. When an item is sold, dispensed within the enterprise, or has its stock level adjusted, its movement is immediately recorded and simultaneously visible to Inventory Management users. As items are charged to a patient's account, they are automatically deducted from the inventory of the providing store.

Replenishment between stores occurs either automatically or semi-automatically, as defined per item per store. When an item reaches a defined minimum level, a purchase request is automatically available for processing in the Purchasing module. All inventory movements are then posted to the General Ledger.

Inventory workflows are further enhanced with the addition of peripheral devices such as hand held stock check devices, full barcode printers, and scanners.
