  • Publication number: 20200219170
    Abstract: A requisition system for safety items such as first aid kits, blood borne pathogen kits, automatic external defibrillators, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors automatically generates a list of supplies for such items. The requisition system operates on a mobile electronic device. The user or customer can efficiently undertake an inventory of the replaceable supplies for the safety items and generate a requisition for such safety items. The requisition system provides for an automatic notification alert to the user and also provides an alert notification button to initiate an inventory of replaceable supplies. A requisition of the replaceable supplies is automatically communicated to the supplier. The requisition system also automatically generates a requisition of supplies so that a first aid kit or other safety item fully complies with applicable current safety standards. The requisition system also is operable to implement an automatic replenishment of supplies.
