With collana med, we bundle your healthcare processes in a centralised system, dissolve data silos and create seamless workflows.
Companies in the pharmaceutical, medical and healthcare sectors have special needs that a generic ERP system often does not fulfil. However, collana med is aware of the special challenges faced by healthcare organisations and companies in the Swiss healthcare sector.
Rising costs, a shortage of skilled staff and high regulatory requirements are putting Swiss hospitals and care facilities under increasing economic pressure.
Fragmented system landscapes in finance, HR and logistics lead to data silos, media disruptions and unnecessary expenditure of time in an already overburdened working day.
A lack of transparency regarding costs, resources and processes makes it difficult to make well-founded decisions. Especially in an environment with high quality and documentation requirements.
A specialised ERP system creates a central database and establishes a reliable „single source of truth“ for all administrative areas.
With an industry solution like collana med, you can reduce administrative work, save time and sustainably increase the efficiency of your processes.
We help you to bridge the gap between the shortage of skilled labour, cost pressure and high medical quality through digitalisation.

Cloud: The cloud ERP system receives fast updates, is fail-safe and your data is optimally protected. Cloud technology is also an ideal basis for scalability.
Automation: Automated processes can relieve the burden on staff by eliminating recurring routine tasks. This gives employees more time to focus on value-adding tasks and patients.

Questions about collana med
collana med is an ERP solution based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, which was developed specifically for hospitals, clinics and medical facilities in Switzerland. The system maps central areas such as patient administration, financial management, materials management and HR processes in a common platform. The aim is to create a standardised database and greater transparency in everyday clinical practice.
Due to the complexity of the industry. In clinics, medical and healthcare companies and pharmaceutical companies, a lot of data, processes and products come together. Organisations need a specialised ERP system to reduce costs, relieve employees, meet all requirements and maintain an overview. It provides you with advantages in a dynamic market and in collaboration with your partners.
Yes, collana med takes into account the legal requirements for data protection, data security and documentation obligations in the Swiss healthcare system. It therefore minimises compliance risks when handling sensitive healthcare data. Standardised interfaces such as HL7, ALIS and FHIR enable structured and secure data exchange with authorities, insurance companies and partner institutions.
With collana med, a company or healthcare organisation can combine medical, administrative and financial processes in one system. These include patient management, invoicing, controlling, facility management support, purchasing and administration of materials and personnel management. By centralising all data and work in one place, you avoid redundant data, tedious searches for data and treatments and reduce media disruptions.
Yes, the collana med ERP solution has a modular structure and is scalable. This makes the introduction of the solution suitable for large hospitals as well as smaller clinics, specialist centres or specialised medical facilities. You can introduce modules step by step and adapt them to individual requirements in the event of changes.
A life science ERP is aimed specifically at pharmaceuticals, medical technology and organisations that deal with research, studies and regulatory processes as well as some events (approval, on-site studies, etc.). collana med, on the other hand, was developed for medical organisations, particularly clinics and hospitals, to support their administrative processes with a high degree of flexibility in their day-to-day work.
