E-Upkaran Software Revolutionizes Public Health Equipment Supply Chain

The software has allowed many public health facilities in India to quickly receive necessary equipment manage their supply chain well and follow transparent practices.

The public health system in India has benefited a lot from the full introduction of the e-Upkaran software. The software is now used to handle everything from buying to moving biomedical items and consumables, supporting 16,220 facilities and following 170,000 items in stock.

Before, the manual Purchase Order system was difficult for healthcare because it resulted in missed deliveries, poor tracking, paying vendors ahead of schedule and problems with contract management. Real-time tracking, improved sales handling and better ways to handle complaints are provided by the updated software module.

This is one of the products created as part of its digital transformation and it connects enterprise resource planning, analyses and reports. With the platform, preventive maintenance is improved, assets are easy to track and payments to vendors are made without delays, all very important for regular hospital services.

As a result, the downtime of manufacturing equipment has gone down, stock control has improved and facilities are now able to request clear answers from their suppliers. The use of lots of technology improves accountability, enhances healthcare services and makes better use of resources in India.

This initiative demonstrates the growing influence of software in public sector reforms, establishing a model for managing digital health supplies.
