Stop Fighting Spreadsheets and Guesswork

Inventory that lives in one person’s head—or a file that is already outdated—creates risk on every shift.

Spreadsheets fall behind

Counts, expirations, and moves between units rarely stay synchronized with what crews actually did on scene.

Stock is everywhere

Supplies spread across ambulances, jump bags, cabinets, stations, and supply rooms—without a single live picture.

Too many steps

Finding, documenting, and restocking takes time crews do not have. Knowledge walks out the door when one person is off shift.

Core EMS Inventory Platform

Proven foundations for ambulance agencies and fire-based EMS—not a warehouse system forced into the field.

Batch and expiration tracking in Red Pulse Systems

Real-time inventory

Know what you have, where it is, and when it changes—across the whole agency.

Multi-location tracking

Track stock by ambulance, station, cabinet, and supply room with clear location context.

Expiration management

Batch-level dates and views that help rotate stock before it expires on a shelf or a rig.

Low-stock alerts

Threshold flags so reorders happen before a critical item is missing on a call.

Usage & removal history

Document what was used and why—patient care, training, expiration, damage, or restock.

Supply Orders & receiving

Create and track purchase workflows, then receive stock into the right locations.

Controlled-substance accountability

Tools designed to help agencies document controlled substance activity with dual-person verification and audit-friendly history on supported plans. Red Pulse supports your policies—it does not guarantee legal, DEA, HIPAA, or agency compliance.

Reporting

Usage, waste, and operational views that help equipment directors answer hard questions quickly.

Usage forecasting

Forecasting and usage-based insights on supported plans to inform smarter ordering.

Modern EMS Workflows

Each workflow removes a specific operational pain—not a disconnected feature checklist.

Pain: Restocks stall waiting for verbal approvals

Supply Requests & approvals

Crews submit supply requests; directors review and approve so inventory moves with a clear record—not hallway conversations.

Pain: Wrong cabinet, wrong truck, wasted trips

Item-by-item source routing

Automatic source assignment routes each line to the right restock location so pulls match how your station is organized.

Pain: Typing every SKU slows the bay

QR & barcode scanning

Scan to find and process items quickly during counts, pulls, and restocks.

Pain: Labels do not match the system

Printable QR labels

Print item QR labels so physical stock matches what Red Pulse tracks.

Pain: Rebuilding the same pull list every time

Supply Kits

Group common restock sets so crews request what they need without rebuilding lists from scratch.

Pain: Spot shortages discovered too late

Spot Checks

Structured checks help catch missing or short items before the next call.

Pain: Expired product sits until someone notices

Waste & expiration replacement

Document waste and replace expired stock with workflows that keep history clean.

Pain: Pricing buried in emails and PDFs

Supplier pricing

Keep supplier pricing visible where your agency manages purchasing inside Red Pulse.

Built by EMS, for EMS

Red Pulse workflows were developed and tested around real ambulance operations—restocks, expirations, multi-location stock, and the documentation supervisors actually need.

We focus on reducing unnecessary administrative work and making common inventory tasks easier for equipment directors, supervisors, and field staff.
