Sanquin Tech Stack
Blood and plasma collection, production, and diagnostics for transfusion medicine
Sanquin operates Europe's largest blood bank infrastructure—collection, testing, production, and distribution of blood and plasma products across the Netherlands. The tech stack reveals a hybrid clinical-operational setup: SAP for supply-chain logistics, Mendix for custom healthcare workflows, Azure/AWS for cloud compute, and Microsoft identity/security stack. Hiring is healthcare-heavy (56% of open roles), with active projects spanning donor integration, flow-cytometry automation, and blood-supply optimization—but only 3 open engineering roles signal infrastructure is relatively stable. The pain-point list (rising plasma demand, shelf-life pressure, digitalization gaps, incident management) points to supply-chain and regulatory complexity rather than product iteration.
