PSTrax has announced a partnership with Bound Tree Medical that it says will give emergency medical services agencies a more streamlined way to manage supplies, purchasing and inventory oversight across vehicles, stations and operational units.

Under the arrangement, users will be able to connect their existing Bound Tree Medical accounts within PSTrax, access negotiated contract pricing and handle procurement from inside the platform. The system is designed to support tasks such as automated PAR-level monitoring, purchase order creation, replenishment workflows and the recording of lot numbers and expiry dates without requiring staff to move between separate systems.
PSTrax said the link-up is also meant to simplify onboarding by allowing historical purchase data to be imported, giving agencies a faster route to setting up inventory records. The company added that the software can flag low stock, improve reporting by vehicle or station, and help teams maintain better control over consumables, sterile fluids, medications and other items that require close oversight.
Scott Bergeron, chief ambassador officer at PSTrax, said inventory control should not depend on crews moving between disconnected tools merely to stay operationally ready. He said the partnership with Bound Tree would allow agencies to manage procurement, accountability and supply visibility in one place, reducing manual work and the risk of error.
The deal comes as EMS and fire organisations continue to seek tighter control over medical inventory, particularly where expired products, controlled substances and rapid restocking create compliance and operational pressures. PSTrax said more than 1,400 public safety agencies use its platform, while Bound Tree Medical, part of Sarnova, has spent more than four decades supplying emergency medical equipment and services to first responders.
