Inventory Management Built for Independent Practices

You don’t have a full-time inventory manager on staff. Inventory Ally acts as that extra brain on your team: predicting what you need, automating orders, and saving you hours every week.

Inventory Ally pays for itself
around 10x, actually

The money you save on inventory costs in your first few months typically covers years of Inventory Ally. You’re not adding an expense, you’re recovering money that was already leaking out through overstock, expired products, and inefficient ordering.

‘I’ve been using Inventory Ally for a few months now and it’s wonderful. My cycle counts go much faster. It’s becoming more and more accurate every week. My supply bill has started decreasing and if nothing else, the sheer amount of time it saves me is worth the cost in and of itself.’

‘In just 48 hours from the demo meeting, our hospital was fully utilizing Inventory Ally. COGS dropped from 43% to 31.9% in the first month, bringing $333,000 back to the bottom line.’

How It Works

Connect your systems: We pull your past 12 months of supply orders from your current suppliers, and integrate with your PIMS to see what you are selling.

The system learns your practice: Inventory Ally analyzes your usage patterns and builds a baseline of what you actually need.

Count what matters: The system tells you what to count each week to stay accurate without spending hours on it.

Get your weekly recommendations: Every week, you’ll get a prioritized list of what to order based on your real consumption, not guesswork.

Place your order: Review, adjust if needed, and order. The whole process takes about 30 minutes instead of half your day.

Still Have Questions?

Here are the answers to what independent practices ask us most often.

How long does it take to set up Inventory Ally for my practice?

Implementing Inventory Ally is simple, straightforward, and fast. In less than an hour, you can have Inventory Ally up and running without complex installations or lengthy disruptions to your daily workflow. When it comes to onboarding and optimization, we’ve broken it down into bite-sized, manageable steps. All it takes is 15-20 minutes per week, over the course of a few weeks, to gradually fine-tune the system to your practice’s needs.

How much time will I need to dedicate to inventory management each week with Inventory Ally?

Once you’re up and running, forget spending 4-8 hours each week on inventory management—all you need is a weekly 15-30 minute check-in on a portion of your inventory. Yes, really. Book a demo to see for yourself!

Do I need to hire an inventory manager to use Inventory Ally? What if we have an inventory manager?

Because plenty of independent practices don’t have a dedicated inventory manager, Inventory Ally is designed to be straightforward enough for anyone to use. It bypasses the unnecessary complexity of typical software and gives you a practical, streamlined tool that meets your needs without overwhelming your team. Plus, our support and training ensures that your staff can use Inventory Ally effectively, no matter their role (or aversion to spreadsheets). Your experience begins with a 4-6 week custom onboarding program, where your personal Customer Success Manager connects with you each week to walk you through a few completely manageable steps. And if you have or are an inventory manager—hats off to you. We love inventory managers (Nicole, our co-founder, is one!). In this case, Inventory Ally can help you transition from a data wrangler to a strategic leader. By automating many of the manual, time-devouring tasks that currently bog you down, our system frees you up to even more significantly contribute to your practice’s success with your own insights and recommendations, too.

Does Inventory Ally replace our PIMS? Is Inventory Ally compatible with our current PIMS?

PIMS data isn’t required to use Inventory Ally—it’s the icing on the cake. Think about it this way: Your PIMS is a foundation for managing your practice data (like scheduling, billing, and patient records), but it was never really designed to manage your inventory or even track it all that well. Inventory Ally is an intelligent layer that finally makes it all click. The system starts with your order history data, analyzing your consumption patterns to predict demand for every item. It then can match transactional data from your PIMS to enhance the predictive capability of the software, alerting you to low stock and changes in demand. By connecting these dots, it takes a proactive, automated approach to optimizing inventory levels and streamlining the entire management process. As for compatibility, our PIMS and supplier integrations are constantly expanding, so check out the Integrations page to see what’s currently available or request a favorite!

Can Inventory Ally handle inventory for both medications and supplies?

Yes! Inventory Ally tracks the products you sell to clients and administer to patients as well as the hospital supplies you use in-house, providing a complete, real-time picture of your inventory across all categories.

How does pricing work for small practices?

Our subscription tiers are tied to your average monthly inventory spend, so you’ll get a rate that’s just right for you. Check out the Pricing page for more details.

What kind of support is available if I have questions or issues?

Expert support and training is only ever a click away. Your experience begins with a 4-6 week custom onboarding program, where your personal Customer Success Manager connects with you each week to walk you through a few completely manageable steps. They then stay with you over time for all of your questions and training needs. Plus, you have constant access to in-app chat for support, too. We’ve got your back!

Can I try Inventory Ally before committing to a subscription?

Please do! To start a free trial, all you have to do is upload a one-year order history file (or connect to your favorite supplier), and check off a few quick questions about your COGS and ordering habits. Then you’re in! And remember, you can always book a demo with our team for more education and support.
