Why it matters

What every implant case has to answer

An implant case goes out with a range of sizes and comes back with most of them. Some of it was borrowed from another distributor. Every item has to end up billed, back on the shelf, returned to its owner or explained.

What was used?

Used items must reach the invoice, with batch and serial, before anyone forgets the case.

Usage entry from the OT executive's app becomes the bill.

What came back?

Returned items must be inspected before they're offered to the next surgery.

Return inspection with a decision for every item.

Whose was it?

Items borrowed from another distributor must go back, or be paid for.

A borrowing record that stays open until it's settled.

What's missing?

Anything damaged or lost must be billed to the hospital or written off, with a reason.

A loss entry against the case, with an audit trail.
Distributor borrowings

Borrowed stock stays on record until it's settled.

No more arguing over whether it was returned or paid for. When a size is short, distributors lend each other implants, usually over a phone call. Weeks later, each side remembers it differently, and stock or money goes missing. Vinflux Medical records every item you borrow or lend against its case and keeps it open until it's returned or paid for.

01

Borrow for a case

During stock arrangement, record the distributor, item, batch and serial. The case shows where every item came from.

02

Use it or send it back

If it's used in surgery, it's billed to the hospital like any other item. If it isn't, it goes back to its owner.

03

Settle it

Close the loan by returning an item or recording a payment. Until then it stays open and visible.

04

See every balance

Open items, value and age for each distributor you trade with, in both directions.

Case lifecycle

The whole case, from booking to payment.

After surgery, billing and returns run side by side, and the case closes when both are done. Select any stage to see who does it and what it records.

Traceability and recall

Find every unit from a batch, wherever it went.

Batch and serial numbers are captured at receipt and again at every surgery. When a principal issues a recall, search the batch and see which units are on your shelves, at hospitals, in transit or already used, and in which case.

Capturing a patient reference on usage is optional. Your admin decides, in line with your data protection policy.

Book a walkthrough of Vinflux Medical with the product team, using a real case from your business.

Built on live operations. Vinflux started inside a multi-branch medical distributor that runs its daily orders, deliveries and billing on it. The platform grew from there to every tier of the channel.

What happens on the call

  1. We map your channel: who buys from whom, and where stock, schemes and money get stuck today.
  2. We run one of your real orders through Vinflux, from the order to the payment.
  3. We plan the rollout: masters, opening stock, and which distributors and territories go first.

Questions from distributors

Something else? Ask us on a demo call.

How are borrowings from other distributors recorded?

When an item is borrowed for a case, you record the distributor, item, batch and serial against that case. The loan stays open until the item is returned or paid for, and each distributor's open balance is visible in both directions.

How is delivery to the hospital confirmed?

The delivery partner's app records photos at pickup and delivery. Arrival is marked inside the hospital's geofence, and the delivery closes when the OT store shares the OTP sent to them by SMS or WhatsApp.

Does it handle both cases with OT support and product-only supply?

Yes. Cases with OT support include OT executive assignment, usage entry and the return of unused items. Product-only cases go from delivery straight to billing.

Can we manage implant stock kept at hospitals?

Yes. Hospital consignment shows the units, value, age and nearest expiry at each hospital, and lets you place, recall, count and bill stock there.

How does traceability work?

Batch and serial numbers are captured when goods are received and again when they're used in a case. You can search any batch to see where every unit is. Capturing a patient reference is an optional setting.

Does it generate GST invoices and e-invoices?

Vinflux Medical raises GST tax invoices from confirmed usage. E-invoicing (IRN) and accounting entries go through the Zoho Books integration.

Which product portfolios can we manage?

Any. You set up your own portfolios, such as orthopaedics or cardiology, with categories and sub-categories under each principal.

Can OT executives from the principal or freelancers be assigned?

Yes. A case can be supported by your own staff, a principal's contact or a freelancer from your freelancer list.

Is Vinflux only for medical distributors?

No. Vinflux is a distribution management platform for manufacturers, C&F agents and distributors in several industries. Vinflux Medical is its edition for medical devices and implants, with the case, OT and hospital workflows that channel needs.
