About Mediq
Mediq is a rapidly growing international healthcare company with leading market positions in 14 European countries. Headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Mediq has a workforce of over 2,500 employees dedicated to improving healthcare outcomes and enhancing the affordability of care.
Challenges Faced
While IFS App10 offered a solid foundation, its standard features did not fully meet Mediq's specific business requirements in the complex healthcare market. To align the system with their unique processes, Customization and configuration were necessary. Moreover, Mediq sought ongoing performance improvements and timely resolution of user-reported issues.

To address these challenges, Mediq collaborated with Creative Software to form a joint development team composed of experienced IFS technical consultants. This team held regular tri-weekly meetings to discuss requirements, resolve user issues, and share critical information. Furthermore, on-site visits were conducted in both Sweden and Sri Lanka to facilitate effective communication and ensure a successful implementation.
