Medical supply delivery is a different operation from rental DME. The order volume is higher, items are consumable, schedules are recurring, and the warehouse work is pick-and-fulfill instead of equipment setup. DME Engine treats supply delivery as a first-class workflow — not an afterthought tacked onto DME software.
Built for supply delivery operations
Supply item master
Manage your supply catalog in DME Engine: SKUs, descriptions, units of measure, vendor sourcing, par levels, and item categories. Add new items, edit existing ones, and use the item master as the single source of truth for what you stock.
Per-payor supply pricing
Every payor (and every home health or hospice agency you serve) can have its own price per supply item. DME Engine lets you:
- ✓ Set individual item prices per payor
- ✓ Adjust all items for a single payor in one operation
- ✓ Adjust all payors’ price for a single item in one operation
- ✓ Clone pricing from one payor to another
The right price applies automatically at order entry and billing.
Truck manifest builder
Build truck manifests from approved supply orders. Group by route, by zone, or by agency. DME Engine’s truck manifest management gives dispatchers a clear view of what’s on each truck, what’s left to load, and what’s out for delivery.
Pick-and-fulfill warehouse workflow
Approved supply orders flow into a pick-and-fulfill queue. Warehouse staff pick orders with barcode scanning, the system tracks lot numbers and item movement, and orders move from picked → loaded → out-for-delivery → delivered automatically.
Supply order approval workflow
For contracts that require approval on supply orders above a dollar threshold, DME Engine routes the order to the named approver at the home health or hospice agency. The approval is recorded as part of the order audit trail.
Mobile driver app for supply routes
Drivers on supply routes use the same DME Engine mobile app: route view, stop-by-stop list, signature capture, photo upload, and offline support so apartment elevators and warehouse loading docks don’t interrupt the day. Generic supply items and unique items (e.g., compounded prescription supplies) are handled separately so chain-of-custody stays clean.
Barcode & lot tracking
Print barcodes (including via network printers in the warehouse), scan items at every step, and maintain lot numbers on items where it matters. Full item movement history gives you the audit trail that hospice and home health agencies expect for supplies they’re billing Medicare for.
Purchasing & receiving
Supply delivery operations live and die by inventory. DME Engine includes full purchase order management (create, edit, process, print), vendor management, and a receiving workflow with close-out so inventory is always accurate when warehouse staff go to pick.
Supply analytics that actually help
Built-in reports answer the supply-side questions you ask every week:
- ✓ Supply orders by date (volume trends)
- ✓ Top supply items ordered (purchasing priorities)
- ✓ Top supply users by payor (account-level visibility)
- ✓ Patient count by payor
- ✓ Custom reports for everything else
Lost item recovery
Supplies get lost — misdelivered, marked delivered but never received, or written off without anyone investigating. DME Engine includes a lost-equipment / lost-item research workflow so missing items get found (or properly written off) instead of quietly draining margin.
HIPAA-aware multi-tenant architecture
Each customer’s data lives in its own dedicated SQL database. Role-based permissions, PIN-based driver authentication, encrypted transmission, and audit logging come standard. Business Associate Agreements (BAA) are available.
