Company profile
researched Sep 2026efficientSC develops software for healthcare supply chain teams, positioning its product as a central workspace for managing supply disruptions while building longer-term resiliency. The company's stated aim is to deliver practical, affordable tools that reduce cost and complexity, enabling supply chain staff to eliminate manual inefficiencies through automation and shift from reactive firefighting to strategic work.
The platform is organized around three modules. Backorder Management supports cross-functional collaboration to resolve at-risk products, generating suggested, structured action plans and helping teams decide whether a substitute is needed. Conversion Tracking measures realized savings from standardization initiatives, surfacing utilization gaps and supporting compliance and value reporting across the organization. Substitute Repository centralizes approved substitutes in a searchable database built on integrated data, with visibility into which product was approved, by whom, when and for which department.

efficientSC was founded by Sarah Kerin, who has worked in supply chain for more than a decade across the healthcare and technology industries and led teams that were repeatedly managing supply disruptions. That experience motivated her to launch the company to change how healthcare supply chains operate.
