OneClinic achieved huge success at the Vitalis trade fair in Sweden – the OC Logistics system could answer the neighbouring country's urgent need
The Finnish software company specialising in healthcare logistics, OneClinic, participated in the Nordic region’s leading e-health event, the Vitalis trade fair, held in Gothenburg from May 4th to 7th. The company’s debut in the Swedish market was a massive success, and the enthusiasm of the potential customer base for the OC Logistics system exceeded all expectations.
Swedish healthcare actors were particularly drawn to how OC Logistics can solve an acute challenge they face. Swedish law requires authorities to constantly know exactly how much pharmaceuticals and medical supplies are in each warehouse.
Currently, however, the Swedish market has lacked a good, modern system for centrally processing and reporting this critical information. At worst, the old systems in use are so rigid that inventory data must be maintained and transferred into the format required by authorities entirely manually. OC Logistics offers the most advanced solution on the market, which takes care of the requirements at once, automating the flow of information and eliminating human errors.
Security of supply and crisis resilience aroused broad interest
In addition to meeting statutory requirements, another theme that strongly resonated with fair visitors was the security of supply and crisis resilience offered by OC Logistics, which are closely linked to real-time inventory management.
Finland has a long tradition of a high level of preparedness, which proved its functionality when the corona pandemic hit, among other times. OC Logistics is built to manage healthcare logistics efficiently even in exceptional situations. When information on the sufficiency of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies is continuously and transparently available to both care organisations and authorities, the crisis preparedness of the entire society improves significantly. This is a feature that Swedish healthcare is currently calling for.
”We have mapped the situation in Sweden, and the massive feedback we received at the fair confirmed that there is clear and strong demand for OC Logistics in the neighbouring country. Sweden lacks a comparable system that would combine all the necessary advanced features on a single platform,” states Veli-Matti Pietilä, CEO of OneClinic.
A digital leap frees up time for care work
OC Logistics digitises healthcare logistics easily and quickly. It covers everything from consumables and medical supplies to strict pharmaceutical control and medical devices. The system’s extensive mobile capabilities and the utilisation of barcodes (such as GS1 and GTIN) make balance corrections, medicine verifications, and batch tracking smooth while on the move.
Expanding into the Swedish market is a significant step for OneClinic, and the incredible reception at the Vitalis fair shows that there is now a real demand for Finnish healthcare technology expertise in the neighbouring country.
