Saudi Arabia-based healthcare supply chain entity, National Company for the Unified Procurement of Medicines, Devices, and Medical Supplies (NUPCO) has implemented several digital supply chain solutions from Blue Yonder’s Luminate Planning portfolio and Warehouse Management System (WMS), to meet its Vision 2030 objectives.
NUPCO is wholly owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and is the major provider of medical procurement, storage, and distribution services for medicines, devices, and medical supplies to 400 hospitals in Saudi Arabia.
Through the power of integrated technology and connectivity, NUPCO is working with its hospitals and suppliers to develop toward supporting a new business model and a new approach to healthcare to accomplish its Vision 2030.
According to the statement, “The company was looking to move from manual to digital planning processes and to utilize a single WMS to unify the operations of all its warehouses.”
NUPCO is cooperated with Blue Yonder to provide low-touch statistical forecasts for all hospitals and increase collaboration with these customers. It increases customer satisfaction by providing long-term visibility into demand and inventories for planning purposes.
It enhances internal stakeholder engagement to identify the best demand and supply plans for hospital consumers. Further, it reduces wastage and working capital by deploying right-sized inventory.
