Medical device manufacturer automating lab workflows and preanalytics processes
SARSTEDT manufactures sample collection, handling, and laboratory automation equipment for healthcare and research labs. The company is mid-way through a gradual SAP implementation paired with Extended Warehouse Management optimization—a multi-year enterprise systems modernization that explains their concurrent hiring in manufacturing, engineering, and data roles. Pain points cluster around data integration, ETL pipelines, and equipment reliability, signaling operational pressure to consolidate disparate systems into a unified SAP environment.
