Diversis Capital has announced the acquisitions of three technology companies in the healthcare supply chain management market. PRNewswire has the release.
The investment firm acquired Genesis Automation Healthcare, which “tracks consumables and implants from supplier to bedside, captures usage data at the point of care for traceability and charge capture, and integrates with EHR/ERP systems to improve safety, compliance, and cost control;” Kermit, which is a “spend-management and analytics platform” that “provides hospitals real-time visibility and control over implantable medical device and PPI transactions to improve price transparency, contract compliance, and reduce costs;” and Meperia, a supply chain and procurement intelligence platform that “centralizes and normalizes product data and offers intelligent substitution / recall alerts to reduce cost leakage, strengthen contract compliance, and improve supply chain integrity.”
The goal in acquiring these companies is for each of them to work together to unify a disjointed technological landscape in the healthcare space. Using disconnected systems to manage supply chain leads to “disjointed inventory processes;” “lack of visibility and control;” “poor data quality;” and “lack of system integration.”
Bringing these systems together under one roof should hopefully make for “unified inventory flows;” “real-time control;” “clean item master,” and “seamless integration” across all facets of supply chain management.
