Case Study: Jay County Hospital achieves streamlined purchasing and inventory control with Bellwether

Jay County Hospital - Customer Case Study

Jay County Hospital, a 200-employee critical access hospital in Portland, IN serving its community since 1906, faced an outdated, manual purchasing and inventory process. Claudia Jones, Materials Management Manager, oversaw about 200 purchase orders per month across some 20 regular vendors and an inventory budget near $200,000, creating a clear need to modernize workflows and centralize vendor, product and transaction data.

The hospital implemented Bellwether Purchasing Software’s Receiving and Inventory modules (with Bar Code planned), migrating inventory, vendor records and transaction history in-house over several months. The result was a streamlined, user-friendly system that saved time, improved accuracy and delivered responsive customer support—keeping Jay County Hospital a satisfied Bellwether customer for 18 years.
