Don’t Allow Supply Chain Issues to Delay Your Project

The last two years have been incredibly stressful for the healthcare industry and the many incredible people working in the field. In addition to the stress of treating an influx of patients caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, these organizations faced immense challenges in the supply chain. The issues with the supply chain are having a significant impact on organizations that are building and activating new facilities. Healthcare facilities are now facing delays upwards of five months for equipment to be delivered (Aeppel). These delays negatively impact the schedule for new projects and make it more challenging to provide patient care for all those in need.

Compounding the problem is that project teams in the field often have limited visibility to the status of the medical equipment, furniture, and IT devices that must be delivered and installed to open a new facility on time. Information about the status of these products often resides in spreadsheets exported from planning tools, ERP systems, and so forth. FitUp is a technology solution that allows healthcare organizations to track the ordering, shipment, and delivery of equipment, furniture, & IT. With FitUp, healthcare facilities can track, in real-time, on interactive dashboards what equipment has been purchased, shipped to the warehouse or the site, installed, tested, etc.

FitUp ensures that your project is successful and delivered on time. For more information, check out our website, https://www.usefitup.com/fitup/

What FitUp Does

HTS, Inc. FreightTrain FitUp software provides powerful tools for use during the activation of a new hospital. Providing real-time data on the status of medical equipment, IT appliances, furniture, and the building itself, FreightTrain allows all stakeholders to stay up-to-date on the status of a given project.

FitUp provides accurate status by way of room checks. Using an owner-verified checklist, the project team can easily verify checklist criteria and log issues while walking the building. Any issues are then automatically assigned to a pre-designated team member for remediation.

By giving the end-user a tool that guides them through identifying issues while keeping owners updated, FreightTrain helps bring buildings to life!
