„We found globalise Norway to be highly professional. This, of course, comes at a price, but based on what we’ve got in return, it’s all well worth it.“

MD of OneMed Norway

The situation

OneMed AS is the largest supplier of medical health equipment to the Norwegian healthcare system with 15% market share in the hospital sector and 40% market share in the municipal sector. In the spring of 2021, OneMed AS needed to strengthen its supply chain management team.

The challenge

COVID-19 had been pushing the capacity of the supply chain management team for a long time, and they were struggling with a residual client balance. In addition, the warehouse was to be moved from Sweden to Norway. It was important for OneMed to bring in a resource with an omni-approach to logistics and solid experience within supply chain management and leadership.

The solution

OneMed hired an interim supply chain manager who could manage the logistics organization, in addition to work at the local warehouse and collaborate closely with the distributor to optimize end-consumer deliveries. The interim manager first restructured the relocation project and laid out a solid operational plan.

The results

The interim manager strengthened control over master data, inventory level and order forecasts, and promoted a strong focus on customer journeys and customer experience. The distribution schedules were improved through close cooperation with the logistics operator. Has very little residual today.
