Background

A surplus medical supply marketplace scaling inventory, sales and vendor operations.

The secondary medical supply market requires fast, reliable platforms to manage surplus inventory, price goods dynamically, and process high-volume orders from hospitals and healthcare networks.

This company runs an online platform that sources surplus medical supplies from hospitals and redistributes them at discounted prices through a robust eCommerce operation.

To grow efficiently, the company needed scalable automation across inventory, sales, vendor offers, and customer engagement workflows.

The client provides a full-stack B2B eCommerce solution for surplus medical equipment and supplies.

It enables hospitals to offload excess inventory and buyers to access affordable medical products.

Powered by a custom Odoo ERP implementation, the platform integrates CRM, inventory management, finance, vendor pricing, and field operations—offering end-to-end support from order intake to fulfillment and payment.
