Commodity & Inventory System for Public Hospitals

SCMS by Riconets Ventures tracks stock, requisitions and reporting for public hospitals so essential commodities are never lost track of.

Keeping track of hospital commodities

In a public hospital, running out of an essential commodity is not just an inconvenience — it affects patient care. SCMS, developed by Riconets Ventures Limited, is a commodity consumption and inventory system built specifically for public hospitals to manage stock, handle requisitions and produce the reports that keep supply under control. It replaces the scattered registers and spreadsheets that make stock levels hard to trust.

The system is designed around how hospital stores and departments actually operate, so the people receiving, issuing and requesting commodities can record what they do without wrestling with software built for a different purpose. When a tool matches the daily routine, staff actually use it, and that is what keeps the stock figures accurate rather than out of date the moment they are entered.

What SCMS manages

SCMS tracks the movement of commodities through the hospital — what is received, what is issued to departments, and what remains in stock. Departments raise requisitions through the system, and store staff fulfil and record them, so there is a clear record of who requested what and when. Consumption data builds up over time, which makes reporting and planning far easier than manual counting allows. Over the months this history also reveals which items move fastest and where wastage creeps in, turning routine record-keeping into information a hospital can actually plan around.

  • Stock tracking for commodities received, issued and remaining
  • Requisitions raised and fulfilled through the system
  • Consumption records that support planning and reporting
  • A clear trail of movements to reduce loss and guesswork

Why a purpose-built system matters

Generic inventory tools rarely reflect the requisition flows and reporting needs of a public hospital, which is why so much stock tracking still happens on paper. SCMS is built for that specific context, giving hospital administrators visibility over stock and consumption that manual methods simply cannot provide reliably.
