Wiegand AG

soxes has developed a powerful software solution for Wiegand AG that optimizes medication management in hospitals. The system consists of four modules: the Central Management Server, a dispensing station, a mobile device for medication dispensing, and the MedManager Cockpit.

Solution: Step-by-step support for nursing staff

The dispensing station helps nursing staff prepare medications with precision. Medications are scanned using a barcode reader and automatically matched to the prescription. A traffic light function indicates the urgency, which significantly simplifies daily work.

Result: Safe digital medication dispensing

The mobile dispensing device records medication administration directly at the patient’s bedside, ensuring maximum transparency and safety. The 5R rule (right patient, right medication, right dosage, right route, right time) is central to this process.

The MedManager Cockpit offers a central tool for managing patients, inventory, and orders. Automated ordering processes and the ability to grant manual approvals simplify the entire administrative workload.

Technologies

The system was developed using Java, Python, and Angular and is in use at several Swiss hospitals. It was integrated with local systems according to international HL7 standards to ensure secure data exchange.

Wiegand also develops modular cabinet systems and furnishing solutions for healthcare institutions. Behind every solution lies a project involving many decisions: Which rooms are being planned? Which cabinets are suitable? What equipment is needed? What options are available? And what does this ultimately mean in terms of cost, design, and implementation?

To make this planning process simpler, faster, and more consistent, soxes developed a web-based furnishing configurator for Wiegand. The solution brings together what belongs together in everyday life.

Initial Situation

At Wiegand, the relevant information was scattered across different systems and workflows. Product data came from the PIM, while customer and project information, as well as prices, came from the ERP. Drawings and coordination were also created separately.

This was feasible for simple cases. However, for more complex projects involving multiple rooms, cabinets, and equipment options things quickly became confusing. There was no central location where the current planning status was visible.

Challenge

The new configurator was not meant to hide the complexity, but to make it manageable. Sales and back-office staff needed a solution that worked with technical precision yet felt intuitive. At the same time, the application had to integrate reliably with PIM, CRM, and ERP, even for large configurations.

Solution

soxes developed a web-based application that allows Wiegand to create projects centrally, visually map rooms, and configure cabinets directly within the room.

Key features:

• Centrally record projects with multiple floors and rooms
• Visually build rooms with walls, corners, and openings
• Place and configure cabinets directly within the room
• Map cabinet bodies, modules, interior fittings, and divider configurations
• Calculate indicative prices for customer meetings
• Transfer project and pricing data to the ERP
• Create drawings as PDFs from various perspectives

The interface is visually guided so that employees can quickly see what they are planning and how the configuration is taking shape. Development was iterative, based on a prototype. This allowed Wiegand to test the solution early on, help shape it, and verify step by step whether it works in everyday use.

Result

With the new interior design configurator, Wiegand plans complex customer projects in a more structured, faster, and more consistent manner. Sales and back-office teams work in a central system, receive price estimates earlier, and can clearly demonstrate the planned solution to customers using automatically generated drawings.
