Why does a hospital need internal logistics? Experience from Bory Hospital

Our company participated in the Metro Arch Camp 2025 conference in Poprad this June—an event that stands out for addressing current challenges in digitalization, automation, smart city management, and energy. Surrounded by experts and leaders from various fields, including healthcare, we had the opportunity to present our internal logistics solutions for Bory Hospital (Penta Hospitals).

Innovations in hospital logistics

During the Healthcare section, we showcased the internal logistics solution implemented at Bory Hospital in Bratislava (Penta Hospitals). We demonstrated how, in such a complex healthcare environment, the Internal Logistics System (ILS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) function—from clear inventory management to precise control of material flows.

Invisible but Essential – Internal Logistics at Bory Hospital

Our CEO, Martin Jančo, presented Bory Hospital as an example of the most modern hospital in Slovakia, where logistics is not just a supporting activity but the backbone of operations. Thanks to the implementation of the WMS (Warehouse Management System) and ILS (Internal Logistics System), we achieved:

  • 20% higher employee efficiency

  • 20% less movement by logistics staff

  • 70% reduction in administrative workload

  • Training time for new employees reduced to one-third

  • Optimized inventory management and minimized errors in the delivery of materials, medicines, and meals

Networking and sharing experience

As part of Metro Camp, Martin Jančo also participated in a panel discussion titled “Building Modern Hospitals in Slovakia – Banská Bystrica, Martin, Prešov. Challenges, Innovations, and Digital Transformation,” where we opened the topic of logistics as a key element in both planning and daily operations of next-generation hospitals.

Metro Camp 2025 confirmed that digitalization and effective inventory management are crucial for a modern and safe hospital. For us, this was not just a product presentation.

It was an opportunity to demonstrate what happens when technology is combined with a responsible approach to patients and modern healthcare.

In a hospital, it’s not just about a delayed component—it’s about health. And that’s why mistakes are not acceptable here.
