Integration of handheld inventory management tool to GHX electronic trading
exchange enables fully touchless billing and replenishment process
LOUISVILLE, Colo., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- GHX Mobile Solutions today announced that is has released a new version of its SalesAccelerator handheld inventory management tool that can now read RFID tags in addition to barcodes. Using this expanded capability, healthcare manufacturers can more broadly utilize SalesAccelerator to improve inventory and order management processes. SalesAccelerator is also the only mobile device application that is integrated to the GHX electronic trading exchange, which enables healthcare providers and suppliers to transact business with one another electronically. By supporting multiple auto identification and capture technologies and leveraging the exchange, GHX Mobile Solutions can enable a fully touchless billing and replenishment process for healthcare providers and suppliers.

"GHX Mobile Solutions works closely with its manufacturer customers to continually upgrade our products to meet their changing market needs."

supplier or provider organization can enter an area where RFID tagged
products exist and immediately count the inventory on hand. As products are
used and inventory counts are reduced, the user can generate a billing
and/or a replenishment order, which, if desired, can be sent to the
hospital's materials management inventory system and transacted via GHX. In
this way, hospitals are better able to track their high-dollar item
purchases, which they have limited visibility to today. At the same time,
suppliers can receive purchase orders as soon as the products are used in
the operating room, as
