The True Cost of Manual Inventory

Every hour your healthcare team spends on manual inventory is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $65/hour and 15 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $51K per year — before factoring in the cost of errors, rework, employee turnover, and the opportunities you miss while your team is buried in routine tasks.

AI-powered inventory automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your healthcare business can handle 1,500+ skus tracked per month with minimal human oversight. The result: a < 14 days payback period and compounding returns as your business grows. Here is the detailed breakdown.
