Manage Standard Process physical inventory vs. a virtual dispensary model by stocking your top 15–25 SKUs physically (highest velocity, best margin) and routing the remaining SP catalog through Patient Direct drop-ship. SupplementPractice.com tracks both fulfillment paths inside one inventory dashboard, with auto-reorder thresholds for physical stock.
Hybrid Inventory Model Best Practices
- Physical stock: top 15–25 SP SKUs by monthly velocity
- Patient Direct: long-tail SP catalog (drop-ship)
- Auto-reorder triggers when physical stock hits 30-day cover
- Quarterly review to graduate fast-moving SKUs to physical
- Single dashboard for both paths
Why Pure Physical and Pure Virtual Both Lose to Hybrid
Pure physical ties up $20K+ in capital and exposes you to expiration loss. Pure virtual loses 10–15 margin points and 1–3 days of patient adherence. Hybrid optimizes both — and SupplementPractice.com is the only platform that tracks them in one view.
