Armon Systems
We build software for hospitals and vendors. Our flagship product, Terra, brings real-time visibility to vendor-owned implant inventory, with no ERP or EHR integration and no IT project.
Our flagship product
TERRA
Zero Trust architecture
Closing the blind spot in vendor-owned implant inventory.
A cloud-based vendor implant inventory management platform giving hospitals and vendors a real-time, auditable view of implant inventory on-site, designed to minimize IT and integration risk.
No ERP or EHR integration. No IT project.
The challenge
Hospitals carry invisible risk every time a vendor walks in with an implant tray.
Vendor-owned implant totes sit outside hospital ERP, EHR, and materials systems. They stay invisible until they cause a case delay, an expired unit, or an undetected recall. Terra closes that gap with real-time, auditable visibility from the moment a tote enters the facility to the moment it leaves.
-
Case delays
OR schedules stall when implant availability cannot be verified before the patient is on the table.
-
Expired product
Expiration checks rely on a manual, visual scan under time pressure, and misses happen.
-
Recalled product
Recall notices arrive by email or fax with no automatic check against totes already on the shelf.
Capabilities
Terra on day one

How it works
How Terra works
No app install and no proprietary hardware. Vendors and hospital staff are up and running in minutes.
-
Vendor arrives
Vendor
Opens Terra on any phone or tablet. No install required.
-
Sign liability waiver
Vendor
A digital waiver is signed, creating a timestamped audit record.
-
Scan items in
Vendor
Terra validates expiration, recall status, and contract coverage.
-
Monitor & resolve
Hospital admin
Admins see live alerts for aging, out-of-contract, or recalled items.
-

Return unused items
Vendor
Remaining items are scanned out, closing the loop with a full audit trail.
By the numbers
The economic impact Terra targets
Four industry benchmarks that make the problem tangible.
-
$70K+/yr
Recoverable OR expiration losses, per hospital
-
45.9%
Of OR delays caused by an unavailable instrument or implant
-
>$10,000
Revenue protected per case saved from delay
-
$2.5–$5B
Annual U.S. industry cost of device recalls
These are industry benchmarks. Actual impact varies by facility, case volume, and workflow.

Security & operations
Controls for everyday operations
Terra combines access controls, recorded vendor waivers, and standalone deployment to support hospital and vendor workflows.
-
Access controls
Authentication and authorization govern access to Terra and its data, guided by Zero Trust principles.
-
Waiver records
Vendors sign a digital liability waiver before logging implants. The signature is timestamped in the audit log.
-
No system interfaces
Terra connects to no ERP or EHR, so there are no hospital system interfaces to open, secure, or maintain.
-
Zero
Special hardware required
-
Multi-vendor
Inventory across locations
-
Live visibility
Inventory status in one place
-
Digital records
Scan activity recorded for review
