“Knowing where items are moving at any given time is very important in case we ever get a question from the FDA or ISO auditor. If they want to know where serial number XYZ is, we can instantly say, well, we sold that to a customer three years ago, and they still have it, or we disposed of it five months ago. Having that instant visibility and traceability is important.”

Medical Device Distributor Chooses OptiPro Manufacturing for Fast Growth

Vios Medical, a healthcare patient monitoring system assembler, and distributor, needed help meeting compliance needs, tracking revenue, and performing complex analyses. They were using QuickBooks and spreadsheets, which weren’t built to sustain the growth they were experiencing.

After evaluating seven ERP systems, including Epicor and NetSuite, the project management team at Vios Medical unanimously decided on OptiPro Manufacturing. A key factor was that they could handle the India side of their business, and OptiPro Manufacturing had someone familiar with India’s regulatory tax issues and processes who could assist them. They also liked the software’s user-friendly interface and dashboards.

Vios Medical opted for an express installation focused on core accounting, finance sales, purchasing, warehouse, and supply chain functions. They were able to go live in four months.

“With OptiPro Manufacturing, we can grow our customer base tenfold or hundredfold and not be concerned that we’re going to outgrow the system.”

Vios Medical develops, assembles, distributes, and installs the Vios Monitoring System (VMS), which monitors patient vital signs wirelessly to free medical facility caregivers to perform higher-priority tasks.

Previously, requesting and approving purchases required manually sharing hard copy or emailed documents, which is not the best practice for mitigating fraud and errors.

After choosing OptiPro Manufacturing with SAP Business One, Vios Medical achieved systematic approvals and visibility into transactions with the ability to instantly correct issues. Vios Medical is confident OptiPro Manufacturing will allow it to accomplish its lofty growth goals.
