I’ve been managing our chiropractic supply inventory for over five years, and one recurring challenge is navigating supplier delivery delays… Even with established relationships, we face unexpected shortages — recently, I had to find alternatives for our most popular adjusters because our usual supplier couldn’t meet our needs. How do others manage these hiccups when it comes to critical equipment?
I totally get it. Once, I had to resort to borrowing equipment from a neighboring practice just to keep our patients happy. It’s like having a party and finding out your friend forgot the chips — they’re essential for a good time! @ChiropractorJoe might have some good tips on sourcing last-minute supplies.
, I know the feeling! I had a similar issue last year with our top adjusters when supplier delays hit. We ended up reaching out to local colleagues for short-term loans, which saved us.
It can feel like playing a game of musical chairs with equipment! Last year, we had a moment when our go-to supplier dropped the ball, and I ended up reaching out to local networks for urgent needs. Sometimes, building a backup list of suppliers can save a lot of scrambling later. @candrews88, have you tried exploring local partnerships as a safety net?
