In medical and pharma, inventory errors are not inefficiencies. They are compliance failures.
The medical and pharma sector operates under EU MDR, ISO 13485, and GMP requirements that make end-to-end traceability and documentation non-negotiable. Kanban.Now automates consumables, MRO, and indirect materials replenishment with every transaction logged, traceable, and audit-ready.
EU compliance requires complete material traceability.
Every component must be traceable from procurement through production, through distribution, and ultimately to the patient, and the EU MDR requires total lifecycle traceability between all stages of medical device development and post-market activities. Manual stock management creates gaps in that record that auditors will find.
EUDAMED compliance is becoming mandatory. Supply chain documentation requirements are tightening.
EUDAMED is moving from voluntary to mandatory, with 2025 to 2026 deadlines locking in requirements, fundamentally altering the compliance landscape and requiring manufacturers to prioritize automated data exchange. Manual replenishment processes are incompatible with that level of documentation.
Expired or missing consumables in regulated environments create audit risk and production stops
In GMP, cleanroom, and sterile manufacturing environments, consumables must be available in the right quantity, from the right approved supplier, and within their validity period. A missing or expired item is not just a logistics problem, it is a quality event that requires documentation and investigation.
Complete consumption traceability at every storage point, automatically.
Every withdrawal, every replenishment trigger, and every delivery is logged automatically with time, location, article, batch, and supplier. Your audit trail is complete, current, and requires no manual input, ready for ISO 13485, EU MDR, and GMP inspections.
Automated replenishment for consumables, MRO supplies, PPE, and indirect materials.
Gloves, cleaning agents, solvents, packaging materials, filters, and laboratory consumables are monitored continuously and reordered automatically from approved suppliers the moment consumption reaches the configured threshold.
Supplier and lot traceability built into every replenishment cycle.
Kanban.Now links every consumption event to the supplier, lot number, and delivery document, giving you the closed-loop traceability that EU MDR requires across all stages of the product lifecycle, from procurement through post-market activities.
VMI and consignment programs with full compliance documentation.
Kanban.Now gives your approved suppliers real-time visibility into your stock levels and automates consumption-based replenishment and invoicing, so your Konsignationslager programs operate with complete documentation on both sides and no manual reconciliation.
