Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to manage inventory of products used in health care practices and organizations. The systems include tools to track inventory, purchase inventory and to predict how much inventory will be used. The method includes obtaining a schedule of future health care procedures. The method predicts an amount of a product that will be consumed by comparing each procedure against a corresponding procedure profile obtained from a procedure profile database. Each procedure profile includes product usage information of products expected to be consumed in a given procedure. This information is then used to predict when orders for replacement units of the product should be placed, to prevent insufficient supply of the product for a scheduled procedure. A graphical user interface is presented to order the replacement units by a determined date and for a determined quantity. Vendors interact with the system to sell the products.
