Belgium – Inventory management software package – Aankoop, implementatie en onderhoud WMS-softwarepakket voor magazijn AZ Groeninge

AZ Groeninge is a large regional hospital in Kortrijk offering a wide range of medical care and specialized treatments. The hospital operates with various medical and supporting services. Currently, there is a very close collaborative relationship between AZ Groeninge and Sint Jozefskliniek Izegem. At present, each of the two hospitals has its own warehouse. The scope of this tender is for new WMS software for the warehouse in AZ Groeninge. This warehouse currently uses SAP WM to manage its operations. Given that the support situation for this ends in 2028, AZ Groeninge is looking for a new IT solution. This new solution must cover the same load as the current SAP WM. In addition to the hospital warehouses, there are also 2 external warehouses (managed by 3PL parties) where the overflow of pallets is stored. The new WMS must also be able to operate with these external warehouses via an inventory transfer function. This function may be approached pragmatically at a general location level, not at a detailed location level, from which certain pallets will be requested as needed. The warehouse in AZ Groeninge consists of classic standard storage components (pallet and shelving) as well as 3 vertical lift modules from supplier Kardex. The scope of the requested software will range from the delivery of goods at the unloading bays, through storage, to the delivery in an “empty/full” storage on the departments (the management of the empty/full storage is also in scope). The control of the vertical lift modules in machine language is part of the scope of the requested software.
