Stockbrokers fight like cats over trades and clients. Their conferences are just as competitive, with plenty of pressure to come up with interesting ideas.
LifeHealthcare partners with Acclimation to advance operations 28 Apr 2021
LifeHealthcare has partnered with Acclimation in order to realise greater growth opportunities and flexibility with SAP S/4HANA.
The independent medical device distributor in Australia and New Zealand has successfully implemented SAP S/4HANA with the support of SAP Gold Partner Acclimation.
Following the acquisition of LifeHealthcare by Pacific Equity Partners in 2018, the company focused on upgrading its technology solutions to facilitate more intelligent and streamlined inventory management, along with supporting prospective growth opportunities.
LifeHealthcare distributes a portfolio of products in various channels that include spine, orthopaedics, robotics, plastics and reconstructive surgery, and interventional neuro-vascular surgery.
Melbourne-based IT consultancy Acclimation has been tapped by Australian medical device distributor LifeHealthcare to implement SAP S/4HANA across its operations.
LifeHealthcare sought to replace its legacy ERP with S/4HANA to facilitate more intelligent and streamlined inventory management while also supporting LifeHealthcare’s prospective growth opportunities.
“LifeHealthcare’s legacy ERP solution was highly customised and outdated, requiring daily fixes and maintenance,” LifeHealthcare chief financial and operating officer David Bonham said.
“The company went to market to find the best-of-breed ERP solution to support medical device distribution and management. In addition, LifeHealthcare sought a highly leverageable tier one solution that would support its expansion, and importantly, integrate with mymediset.”
