36. Managing your dental supply inventory like a pro

With Jordyn Levitas
Nothing moves through a dental office faster than supplies.

Managing inventory is a huge job with major impacts on the bottom line.

If something runs out — work in the practice could grind to a halt.

Far too often; however, the inventory management system is held together by one person, a ton of Post-It notes, and some phone numbers in a smartphone. Albeit to say it's less than ideal and could leave you exposed.

Meet our guest

In this episode, we're talking to Jordyn Levitas from Torch Dental, an all-in-one supply ordering platform where dental offices can discover, research, order supplies, and pay for everything all in one place.

When Jordyn started with Torch Dental five years ago, they were fewer than 10 people in a WeWork space in New York City. Today, they have more than 100 employees across the country helping dentists take control of their practices, operations and supply ordering so they can focus on what matters most: their patients.
