Right now, you find out about shortages when suppliers notify you or when inventory runs dangerously low. Then it’s scramble mode: emergency meetings, frantic sourcing, rushed protocol changes, stressed communications to providers. By the time you know about it, your options are limited. Suppliers are allocating. Alternatives are scarce. You’re reacting instead of planning.
OrbitalRX has helped shortage managers across the country centralize data and automate workflows for almost a decade. But the market kept asking: “Can you help us see what’s coming before it hits?”
We built Signal and Pulse to answer that question - two transformational products that extend shortage management into risk anticipation.
What Signal Does
Signal analyzes your health system’s inventory patterns—utilization trends, order timing, demand shifts, and buying patterns. When it detects emerging risks in your data, it flags them for investigation 30+ days earlier than traditional methods.
How It Works
That 30‑day head start means you can source alternatives before panic buying starts, adjust clinical protocols with adequate planning time, and communicate proactively with providers—before the shortage officially hits.
What Pulse Does
Pulse provides anonymized intelligence from hundreds of hospitals across the OrbitalRX network, revealing community‑wide shortage patterns using the first‑ever multivariable scoring model for drug shortages.
How It Works
You need early warning, but most tools provide only backward-looking data. You see what happened, not what’s developing. You track current shortages, but miss emerging risks in your inventory patterns.
You want to see problems developing before they become crises, but your current systems only tell you about issues after they’ve already impacted operations.
We’re pharmacists who lived the drug shortage nightmare. After managing shortage operations at major health systems for 10+ years, we built the centralized platform we wish we’d had. OrbitalRX has helped shortage managers across the country centralize data and automate workflows.
