Onboard Medical Inventory And Dispensing
Minimum levels and replenishment reduce the chance of a critical stock-out when medical stores are needed.
Why fleets still struggle
The cost of how it’s done today
Medical stock kept on paper leads to expired items and stock-outs discovered during the emergency that needed them.
The traditional approach
Medical chest lists in a spreadsheet with manual reorder and no expiry visibility.
With WaterTightVM
What changes when this is under control
A medical catalog with vessel stock levels, a dispensing log, expiry tracking, and automatic requisitions to procurement when items fall below minimum.
Time back
Dispensing decrements stock and low levels raise a requisition, so the medical officer stops manual reorder lists.
Less waste
Expiry tracking reduces waste from expired medicines and avoids emergency last-minute sourcing.
Lower risk
Minimum levels and replenishment reduce the chance of a critical stock-out when medical stores are needed.

Questions before you commit
Is there a standard catalog?
Yes. Medical stores include MSN-based catalog seeding that companies can customise.
Does dispensing update stock?
Yes. Dispensing decrements vessel stock, and items below minimum trigger a replenishment requisition.
Are expiries tracked?
Yes. Expiry tracking flags medicines approaching their use-by date to reduce waste and stock-outs.
Does WaterTightVM set required medical scales?
It seeds MSN-based catalogs to help, but maintaining the correct medical scale for the vessel remains the operator's responsibility.
