Case Study: Paul Hartmann AG improves patient care and supply reliability with SAP HANA Cloud (SAP HANA)

Paul Hartmann AG Harnesses Data to Improve Patient Care

Paul Hartmann AG, a 200‑year‑old healthcare supplier of wound‑care, incontinence, and disinfection products sold in 100 countries, faced fragmented data across many internal and external sources — from infection‑detection AI and IoT sensor boxes to supplier and operational systems. That fragmentation prevented cross‑application analysis, hampered inventory planning, and risked stockouts that could affect patient care.

By deploying SAP Business Technology Platform — SAP HANA Cloud as the central cloud database (including the Predictive Analysis Library), SAP Data Intelligence Cloud for reusable ingestion and orchestration pipelines, and SAP Analytics Cloud for self‑service and predictive analytics — Paul Hartmann created a single source of truth. The result: unified access, streamlined production, better inventory planning (sensor boxes can even adjust minimum stock using external data like weather), improved supply reliability, and new ML/AI‑driven innovation and revenue opportunities that help ensure customers get products when they need them.
