Upp Technology, a leader in emergency preparedness and response solutions, announced today that the state of Florida Department of Health (DOH), Bureau of Statewide Pharmaceutical Services (BSPS) has selected the IRMS 360|Enterprise™ solution suite in a hosted environment to manage the state’s pharmaceutical inventory. Software selected from the suite includes IRMS|EM™ Emergency Management, IRMS|WM™ Warehouse Management and IRMS|BI™ Business Intelligence to provide the BSPS with real-time visibility, enhanced accuracy and increased productivity.

IRMS|WM provides the BSPS with a centralized warehouse management resource for statewide pharmaceutical programs including AIDS, epilepsy, family planning, insulin, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, and public health preparedness.

Through a single web-based database, DHS officials can easily monitor local pharmaceutical inventories across the state and allocate supplies based on need and CDC requirements. Pre-configured for CBRNE, MCI and numerous other pandemic events, IRMS|EM provides confidence and surety when critical decisions must be based on accurate inventory information.

IRMS 360|Enterprise is a proven solution currently operating in twelve states, as well as numerous counties and municipalities. The commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software system is designed for flexibility, scalability and interoperability, virtually eliminating inaccurate data and inventory outages while streamlining labor-intensive tasks.
