Case Study: North Mississippi Health Services achieves $8M annual savings and 99.98% fill rate with Tecsys' Elite Healthcare WMS

NMHS Adopts Self-Distribution with Tecsys, Saves $8 Million Annually and Significantly Improves Service Levels

NMHS, a regional healthcare system serving six acute care hospitals, a surgery center, clinics, nursing homes and school health centers across two states, needed to rein in rising supply‑chain costs and eliminate duplicative, manual processes. Leadership targeted standardization and more efficient distribution management to improve margins and service levels.

After selecting Tecsys’ Elite™ Healthcare WMS as a SaaS solution, NMHS moved to self‑distribution and direct purchasing, implemented paperless picking/receiving, expiry and lot tracking, and improved stock rotation. The change eliminated supply‑chain steps and drove substantial savings — up to $14.5M to date and $8M annually, a 10% EBITDA lift, fill rate increased to 99.98%, mis‑picks down 71% and backorders down 59% — with payback in just over two years.
