Cloud Based Stock Management System
Available Via The G-Cloud Framework
SSC uses hand-held devices for managing all aspects of stock control. Currently utilizing Datalogic Skorpio devices, a new Android version running on Zebra devices is in early-access preview. Our devices use Zebra Label printers to produce GS1 compliant identifiers to track individual stock items. All our SSC hardware is supplied and supported by our preferred hardware supplier, Sciamed.
Savant Stock Control has full quarantine capabilities from complete deliveries to individual stock items. The stock reconciliation module allows accurate stock checking, and the automated ordering facility ensures that the stock is always kept at the levels you need them to be.
SSC is available as Software as a Service (SaaS) – hosted remotely on the cloud. Or you can have SSC installed on your own computer network – which is the approach chosen by SSC customers at NHS Tayside.
As SSC is available via the G-Cloud framework of the Government Digital Marketplace, procurement of SSC is easy, and the costs are known in advance.

Taking Control Of Your Inventory
Accurate Labelling With Real-Time Updates
The SSC system utilises product labelling incorporating GS1 standards
Each product batch or lot ID has its’ details loaded by scanning the package’s GS1 barcode. Then, individual packs are labelled with unique 2-D barcode labels displaying the product name, GTIN, batch number, expiry date, delivery date and unique identification (UID).
The shipment can be quarantined at delivery and each lot released once validated. Every movement of the product is tracked from receipt through to issue.
Keep control by optimising your stocks to match the storage space available and base orders on real-time inventory.
Stock Control Quarantine Rules
Full Control Over The Quarantine & Release System
Savant Stock Control gives you confidence in controlling products from delivery level.
A single batch of products can be moved to quarantine on delivery and may not be issued for use until released. The release process requires confirmation by a colleague to help prevent errors and an option is available to store evidence from the product evaluation for retrieval when required at audit etc.
If required, a full product delivery can be unpacked to quarantine status and manually released by staff with sufficient permissions. Product records can be found via delivery, product, or batch for a quick and simple release process. (the enquiry process shows the who, when and what was carried out on any searched product)
The system does not allow products that are marked as in quarantine, previously given a final fate (e.g., already issued or discarded) or expired to be issued from the system to a suitable facility.
Time and cost savings could result from the clear and traceable inventory approval process.
Data-Driven Decisions
Real-Time Stock Quantities
Reliable ordering based on real-time stock is achieved with advised order quantities using the Savant Stock Control System. A minimum and maximum quantity may be set for each product and the advised order subtracts the current stock to estimate suggested ordering quantities. Orders can be viewed and edited for each site and if required validated and confirmed with the supplier.
Effective teamwork is supported by the Inventory’s included messaging section with visibility and acceptance of message reading by each user being recorded and viewable on the system across each site.
The order details when created can be automatically emailed to a supplier from the system. When this is actioned, a selected number of users can be included in the email distribution.
Accuracy of ordering is enhanced by reporting on stocks in each facility/area/location and the use of stock over time.
