How does Method inventory management work?

Method offers three inventory management approaches: Scan to Cart (scan items to add to order list), Reorder Tag System (visual tags at reorder points), and Scan to Track (real-time tracking with automatic notifications). All methods use barcode scanning for quick, accurate inventory management.

What are the benefits of Method inventory management?

Method helps dental practices save 30–40% on supply costs, reduce waste by up to 40%, complete inventory checks in minutes using barcode scanning, automate reordering, track expiration dates, compare prices across suppliers, and maintain real-time visibility across all locations.

Inventory that works the way you do

The Method platform offers a variety of ways you can manage your inventory and make the most of our systems. Here are the three most common approaches.

Scan to Cart

Best for: Practices spending too much time creating an order list.

The user walks up to their inventory cabinet, storage room, or operatory

They visually inspect the current inventory

They evaluate what items need to be ordered

For each needed item, they scan a QR code on shelf tags or product boxes

The scanned items are automatically added to their cart in the application

Reorder Tag System

Best for: Practices looking for a simple system all staff can adapt to.

Position tags at your predetermined reorder points based on your practice's unique usage patterns and storage setup

Place removed tags in "Need to Order" collection bin, creating a clear visual system for tracking reorder needs

Process tags weekly to generate precise orders, maintaining consistent inventory levels without overbuying

Return tags to products after restocking shelves, completing the cycle and ensuring system continuity

“My staff loves Method because it's an easy one-stop-shop for ordering, as opposed to having to go to five or ten different websites and order different things. They can just go to Method, find the products, place the order, and move on with their day.”
