Discover how Cosanum AG leveraged Odoo to improve its logistics, overcome operational challenges, and elevate its business to a new level of efficiency and transparency.
Based in Schlieren, Switzerland, Cosanum AG positioned itself over the years as a trustful solutions' provider to the healthcare system, showcasing a commitment to customer-centricity. The company seamlessly integrates digital logistics and a vast array of medical products across different expertise, namely: healthcare, orthopedics, and work safety.
Cosanum AG was facing a complex array of challenges stemming from a disparate system landscape. Managing separate systems for warehousing, CRM, and purchasing created a labyrinth of data management and coordination hurdles. Indeed, before Odoo, the company was running various solutions like Opacc, AddOne, Sage, Dynamics, and LVS (WMS).
The implementation process began in 2019. Initially adopting only two HR apps, the company gradually incorporated finance, gaining a progressive understanding of Odoo's capabilities. A phased approach to implementation, starting with smaller segments and working in parallel with existing systems, allowed Cosanum AG to continuously refine its processes. The culmination of this effort was a successful first smaller Go-Live to begin with, followed by a bigger one 6 months later, enabling Cosanum AG to learn from the first one and fix all missing parts.
The company has now harnessed the power of 100+ active users across a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from, Sales, Inventory, Helpdesk, CRM and invoicing to project management, and beyond.

- Data Migration: Overcoming this challenge involved external support for migration and a meticulous data cleaning process.
