Inventory & Compliance Manager

Page purpose (designer & content owners — read first)

This page positions Inventory & Compliance Manager as Primoro’s single, governed system for stock control, supplier management, and clinical compliance — helping practices run leaner, stay inspection‑ready, and avoid costly or risky oversights.

It is not:

• a basic stock list
• a standalone compliance checklist
• a financial accounting system

It must communicate:

• Inventory & Compliance Manager is an optional add‑on module in the Operations Suite
• Stock, suppliers, and compliance are managed together, not in silos
• Compliance tasks are embedded into daily workflows
• Full audit trails are always available for inspection

Tone: controlled, dependable, inspection‑ready. Calm confidence.

Inventory & Compliance Manager — stock controlled, compliance covered

One system for inventory, suppliers, and clinical compliance — lean, safe, and always inspection‑ready.

Inventory & Compliance Manager replaces spreadsheets, paper logs, and fragmented apps with real‑time visibility and governed workflows. Purchase orders and invoices are pushed directly into Xero at launch, with additional finance systems available to early adopters.

Practices order from the Primoro catalogue, which is continuously updated. We work with three major UK dental suppliers to onboard refreshed pricing each month and negotiate group‑buying discounts, ensuring practices always access the best available pricing — without manual price checks.

Governance & trust

Inventory & Compliance Manager is built for inspection confidence:

• timestamped audit trails for every action
• structured records instead of free‑text logs
• evidence always available when requested

Nothing missing. Nothing improvised.

Visual guidance (for designers)

Design should emphasise control and visibility:

• inventory dashboard with stock and expiry alerts
• requisition and approval flows
• compliance checklist status (green / amber / red)
• equipment records with service history
• training dashboard by staff member
• group overview showing compliance by site

Avoid clutter — this is an operational control system.

Frequently asked questions

Is this just an inventory system?

No. Inventory & Compliance Manager combines inventory control, procurement, supplier pricing, compliance scheduling, and audit reporting in one governed workflow. It replaces multiple disconnected tools rather than acting as a simple stock list.

How does this support segregation of duties and good governance?

The system uses role‑based access and approval workflows to clearly separate requesting, approving, receiving, and completing actions. This prevents single‑person control, improves accountability, and supports CQC and GDC expectations around good governance.

Do purchase orders sync with our accounting system?

Yes. Approved purchase orders are automatically synced to the accounting system, so finance teams always have visibility of committed spend without re‑keying data.

Which accounting systems are supported?

Xero is supported at launch, with additional finance systems made available through the early adopters programme.

How is supplier pricing managed?

Practices order from the Primoro catalogue, which is refreshed monthly. Primoro works with three major UK dental suppliers to onboard up‑to‑date pricing and negotiate group‑buying discounts that are applied automatically at the point of ordering.

Do we always get the best available pricing?

Yes. The catalogue reflects current supplier pricing and group‑negotiated rates, removing the need for manual price checks or comparisons.

Does this support inspections and audits?

Yes. The module is designed to support CQC, GDC, and MHRA inspections, with full audit trails, evidence capture, and exportable reports readily available.

Can this work across multiple sites?

Yes. Inventory and compliance can be managed centrally across multiple sites while retaining local visibility and ownership.

Can staff training and CPD be tracked here?

Yes. Mandatory training can be assigned, tracked, and evidenced by role, with reminders and renewals managed automatically.
