ADCs solve the wrong problem.

The problem isn't: "We need better supply tracking."

$25.7 billion.

That's how much U.S. healthcare wastes annually on preventable supply chain inefficiencies.

Breakdown:
• $14B: Nursing time hunting supplies
• $5B: Expiration waste (8-10% avg)

• $2.7B: Stockout delays and cancellations

Your hospital is contributing to this.

40% of surgical cases get delayed or cancelled due to supply issues.

Let's quantify that:

1 cancelled case = $2,000-5,000 lost revenue
100 cases/week
40% delay rate = 40 cases impacted weekly

Low estimate: $4M-10M annual revenue at risk

Not counting:
• Surgeon frustration
• Patient dissatisfaction
• Staff overtime scrambling
• Reputation damage

Stockout costs don't show up on supply chain reports. They show up on your P&L as "lost revenue."

Mercy Hospital eliminated stockouts with BlueBin. >98% fill rate. Zero cancelled cases.
