“Access to testing remains a critical offering during the ongoing pandemic. By providing access to this health technology, our students, faculty and staff, no matter their vaccination history, will be able to quickly and easily access COVID-19 tests throughout the day and into the evening.”

“If you’re worried that you have any symptoms, it just makes it very easy to pop on over and grab one, as opposed to just hoping you’re okay.”

“We have to be creative. Years ago, we were throwing away $3,000 worth of drugs when they expired at the end of the month. We only throw away a couple of hundred dollars’ worth of drugs now.”

Bill Dolby
Jackson Township Fire Captain

“Previously, if a unit ran out of a specific supply, they would have to make a trip to central supply to restock. With the UCapIt vending machines and lockers in place, they have immediate access. Budget numbers indicate we’re under budget in medical supplies and medications compared to this time a year ago. In addition, we’ve been able to reduce central supply stock and we’re seeing a decrease in waste and expired items.”

“I have a limited supply and equipment budget, and the supply monster was just eating our operations. We found, when we analyzed the system, that we had a lot of inconsistencies and weren’t compliant with state regulations. Our old system to determine what we had in the field that was going to expire was a phone tree, and now, with UCapIt, we can pull it up in real-time and understand what we have to order or not.”

Captain Michael Baker
Director of EMS for the Tulsa Fire Department in Oklahoma

“The report tells me what I need to know, how many are expiring, where they are located and the name of the medication. I really like that I can run the report for 90 or more days because I order replacement medications 3-4 months in advance, plus my regular stock…so I know I won’t run out. Now instead of having to do a count by hand at the end of the month or so, I check them in when I receive them and simply run the reports I need.”

“Littleton has had their CAP dispenser for over two years and would be happy to share their success with you. They are very creative at Littleton. This machine is used for controlled substance restocking for the EMS vehicles. But we are told they actually put a few snacks in the bottom row so the EMS staff can also get a yummy snack with their ID. We doubt the wives are getting automatic email alert notifications when their dieting husbands get a snack in the middle of the shift…but it’s possible to do. We can be as transparent as you want.”

Wayne M. Zygowicz
EMS Chief at Littleton Fire Rescue

“The cost reduction we realized once we had implemented IDS’ UCapIt solution is a big benefit to us. We spend less time doing the manual count and the paperwork to keep track of the physical inventory. Plus we receive notifications from the web service that allow us to track all of our equipment, certifications and product in real-time. With IDS’ UCapIt, we were able to reduce inventory time and save money. IDS’ UCapIt system is extremely easy to use and manage. I would recommend the system to other agencies that are looking to reduce costs and efficiently increase their inventory tracking capabilities.”
