Background InformationInefficiencies were discovered within Elite

Medical SupplyBiggest problem was a lack of technology

utilization to organize this growing company

We were hired, and created a Microsoft Access Database to solve these issues

Specifics of the ProblemInability to easily track customers who

haven’t paid for their productsHours are spent tracking down unpaid orders

and the contact information associated with the buyers/insurance companies

No way of tracking the products sold for a given time period w/o going through each individual paper record

Our Proposed SolutionOur database can track all details associated

with an order, such as customer details, insurance company details, products sold, price paid, etc.

It’s main purpose is to show the user who hasn’t paid in full for their order

This database can essentially eliminate the need for paper, with everything being tracked through the database

The ValueA more organized accounts receivable

department, with information that can be worked on by multiple employees, and be backed up off site.

A less labor intensive method for collecting overdue payments, meaning less overtime for an already overworked staff.

The information stored in the database can be used to extract information useful for your company.

Operation of DatabaseWhen an employee at Elite Medical processes

and order for a customer, they will either add a new customer to the database, or add an order to an existing customer.

When an order is placed, the price of all the products is calculated and a bill is created

When payment is received, it is recorded into the database, and the patient will no longer show as overdue.

ConclusionWe hope the database we have created will

help Elite Medical Supply continue to grow by utilizing advanced technology to eliminate inefficiencies within the company
