Case Study: Arizona Department of Veterans Services achieves streamlined inventory control and compliance reporting with Bellwether Purchasing Software

Arizona Department of Veterans Services - Customer Case Study

The Arizona Department of Veterans Services, a state agency of about 300 employees with a 200‑bed skilled nursing facility and multiple satellite offices, relied on a three‑person purchasing team led by Purchasing Officer Tammy Vogel. The department faced complex purchasing needs across many divisions and strict state reporting requirements for transactions with small businesses, while its warehouse was frequently overstocked because purchases were made only when items ran out.

The department implemented Bellwether Purchasing Software—deploying Purchasing, Receiving, Requisitions, Quotations, Inventory, and Bar Code modules—which enabled detailed transaction reporting and inventory control. Using Bellwether’s inventory module and configurable reorder points, staff now order by usage instead of in large bulk, reducing warehouse overload and simplifying purchasing and reporting processes.
