About The Customer
SPR Therapeutics, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, is dedicated to designing, manufacturing and commercializing non-opioid, minimally invasive pain treatment options. The company’s SPRINT technology is the only percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System approved by the FDA to treat both chronic and acute pain. SPR Therapeutics expects its SPRINT system to be the standard of care for pain management. The treatment is non-opioid, reversible, safe, effective and more affordable than the consequences of addictive opioid medications and invasive surgeries. The company is on a mission to provide a minimally-invasive and nonopioid pain management alternative with well substantiated clinical outcomes, and they have a smart and strategic, yet aggressive, growth plan.
The Challenge
SPR Therapeutics, a medical device company specializing in neurostimulation technology, was facing challenges with their internal systems, including CRM, inventory management and quality management. These systems were disconnected, inefficient, and made poor use of critical data. The company was using an assortment of separate unintegrated applications, which led to disconnected silos of information and frustrating inefficiencies. One of the key components of the company’s quality management system was a simple document control application. Another significant problem for the young company was inefficient complaint processing. Handling complaints is an essential part of customer feedback, quality and compliance for any medical device company. Even though sales volume was growing, the company was falling behind on processing and resolving complaints. Complaints were tracked manually, which made it challenging to keep up with every detail.
The Solution
SPR Therapeutics chose Rootstock Cloud ERP and ComplianceQuest EQMS on the Salesforce Cloud Platform as their new technology foundation. Rootstock Cloud ERP is natively built and runs on the Salesforce Cloud Platform. It has the ability to track and trace complete product history, provide lot control and improve efficiencies through automation, especially with inventory and engineering management. ComplianceQuest EQMS is a 100% cloud-based, enterprise-grade solution that streamlines quality, compliance, content and collaboration management initiatives and strategies across diverse, globally based supply chain networks. It also integrates seamlessly with Rootstock Cloud ERP. SPR Therapeutics set out to standardize its quality management system to ensure patient safety and compliance with FDA regulations. The company also adopted Salesforce CRM for its seamless integration with Rootstock on the Salesforce Cloud Platform.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
