Swiss clinical laboratory network with diagnostic specialties across 7+ medical disciplines
Viollier is a 70-year-old Swiss family-owned clinical laboratory operator with ~800 staff and nationwide footprint. The company is mid-implementation of a brownfield SAP S/4HANA migration — a multi-year infrastructure overhaul that reflects the operational complexity of running distributed labs across multiple languages and cantons. Active hiring skews toward healthcare delivery (55% of current roles) with engineering and logistics support roles, suggesting the business is scaling diagnostic capacity and supply-chain capability rather than rebuilding core platform.
Notable leadership hires: Pathology Lead, Project Lead SAP S/4HANA
Viollier operates a network of clinical laboratories across Switzerland, offering diagnostic services spanning molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, chemistry, immunology, hematology, and pathology. Founded in 1953, the company operates from headquarters in Allschwil with labs and collection points across all Swiss language regions. The organization serves hospitals, healthcare providers, and practices as a full-service lab partner. Current focus areas include quality assurance, turnaround-time optimization, and modernization of legacy SAP systems to support evolving diagnostic and operational demands.
Viollier runs on SAP S/4HANA, SAP ERP, and SAP BusinessObjects for operations and reporting, plus Microsoft 365, Teams, Jira, and Confluence for collaboration. Infrastructure includes Azure, Nutanix, Active Directory, and Citrix.
Primary focus is a brownfield SAP S/4HANA migration and SAP landscape modernization. Secondary initiatives include process optimization, quality assurance, new diagnostic method implementation, and turnaround-time reduction for lab results.
