  4. Case 04Laboratory medicine

    Process digitalisation: From a compliance-only system to an end-to-end procurement process

    For years, the laboratory information system had handled the documentation required by law. Procurement, batch testing and invoice approval ran alongside it, by hand and on paper.Client MVZ Chirurgie und LabormedizinShow details

    MVZ Chirurgie und Labormedizin, a medical laboratory in a hospital setting and subsidiary of a university hospital. Fewer than 100 employees, around 20 of them working directly in the ERP. Procurement, batch testing and invoice checking digitalised and connected.

What our clients say

For us, Ascentra Solutions is not a typical IT service provider. They think further ahead and look at processes and people as well as IT, so that the solutions last.

Alex SchillerInvestment Manager, NimbusTranslated from German.

What I value about working with Ascentra Solutions is that they take responsibility rather than simply execute. That allows me and my team to focus on our core topics.

Henning AndresenPartner, NimbusTranslated from German.

We looked at many specialised consultancies. What convinced us was that Ascentra Solutions masters the technology and still understands how we work. Today, inventory management and procurement run digitally instead of on paper.
