SupplyPro introduces contact tracing technology to fight COVID-19

July 8, 2020

SupplyPro, a provider of automated inventory management technologies, with a device-driven, cloud-based ecosystem that integrates with internal ERP systems and distributor delivery solutions, has updated its software to allow users to run a contact tracing report, a new tool in the fight against COVID-19, according to a press release.

If someone tests positive for COVID-19, the CDC recommends contact tracing to track their physical interactions with others to help determine who else may have been in close contact so they can take necessary precautions. This process prevents further transmission of disease by separating people who have or may have an infectious disease from people who do not.

SupplyPro software can contribute by providing information on managed inventory, tools and supply contact, whether it's through vending systems, warehouses, cribs or storerooms.

By pushing a button in the report manager, the desired time period under evaluation is chosen and filtered by user to identify all the locations accessed by any user.

Location can also be filtered to identify all the employees that came in contact with that location.

SupplyPro is currently offering its automated vending system below cost to support the autonomous management of essential PPE products — safety masks, gloves, sanitizer, etc.
