[PRE-CON] From Chaos to Control: How to Optimize Your Inventory
Description

Can your business afford not to optimize inventory?  Inventory chaos is costing HME providers time, cash, and revenue, often without them realizing the full impact. This interactive pre-conference workshop is designed for HME owners and leaders across operations, finance, and supply chain who are still relying on manual counts, disconnected systems, or limited visibility across locations. Attendees will identify where inventory visibility breaks down across warehouses, delivery fleets, and remote locations. You’ll assess your current inventory maturity using a practical scorecard, uncover hidden operational and financial gaps, and learn proven strategies to improve accuracy, reduce manual work, free up cash and capture more revenue. Through real-world examples and live demonstrations, you’ll leave with clear, actionable steps to move from reactive inventory management to true inventory control.
