Offimedicas S.A. is a Colombian company founded in 2001, headquartered in Bucaramanga, Santander. The company mainly operates in the wholesale trade of pharmaceuticals, medicines and cosmetics. It was created to meet the needs of the Colombian healthcare sector, offering medicines and medical materials at competitive prices to the Entidades Promotoras de Salud (EPS) and the Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicio (IPS).
The mission of Offimedicas S.A., which is experiencing constant growth, is to provide effective management of pharmaceutical products, ensuring safety, competitive prices and timely service, made possible by a solid IT infrastructure and a team of experts.
To maintain its competitiveness and improve consistently, the company has reorganised its warehouse operations. In the past, items were stored on high racks, and staff wasted time in a chaotic search for packages, risking errors in order creation. By switching to an automated solution, Offimedicas has optimised space and staff efficiency, expanding the number of items in the catalogue and consequently its business.
Offimedicas S.A. relied on Modula’s expertise to automate warehouse operations.
Taking advantage of the verticality of the structure has resulted in incredible savings on floor space and in a more orderly and traceable system. This strategic decision enabled optimal ordering of medicines and devices, to store them safely and retrieve them easily. The Modula system is equipped with a copilot that shows the real-time layout of each tray and the items it contains.
