The Challenge

All items ordered for St. Olavs Hospital, including medical equipment, pass through the hospital’s logistics center. On any given day the hospital receives between 100 to 150 packages by mail, courier and freight forwarders.

Without the support of advanced technology, this can present a major challenge for the logistics team. Roar Sommer, Head of Logistics at St. Olavs says: “This is a very large hospital, and packages have been lost during transportation several times. In most cases the packages do turn up again, but some of them disappear without a trace.”

The Results

For Roar Sommer, the introduction of nShift as an internal solution has been a huge success. “Previously, the hospital’s logistics center had to compensate for the value of lost packages, but after introducing [nShift] internally we have not had to compensate for a single package. Packages have gone astray, but we have been able to trace them internally in our system and quickly find them again.”
