HQ: Netherlands 12 locations, 4 countries QR-based tracking
Introduction

The customer: STEMZ Global

STEMZ Global is a multinational healthcare group headquartered in the Netherlands, operating across 12 locations in 4 countries. Managing medical and administrative assets that frequently change hands and locations was creating operational delays, audit challenges and potential patient-safety risks.

Smart asset tracking, delivered with our partner tag8, gave them the centralized control they needed — built on real-time asset visibility across borders.

The Challenge

Days-long searches, manual audits

Assets frequently changed hands and locations, making them difficult to trace. Equipment searches often took days. Audits were largely manual, and staff had limited insight into asset status or usage history — creating operational delays and potential patient-safety risks across the international network.

Days-long searches

Finding a single piece of equipment could take days.

Assets on the move

Equipment changed hands and locations, hard to trace.

Manual audits

Audits were largely manual, with limited status insight.

Patient-safety risk

Delays and blind spots created potential patient-safety risks.

The Solution

QR-based tracking, centralized across borders

SmartX HUB deployed a QR-based smart tracking solution that made every asset traceable in real time — and unified all 12 sites, in 4 countries, under one system.

1,600+ QR-Tagged Assets

1,600+ assets tagged with QR codes across 12 locations in 4 countries.

QR Check-in / Check-out

Captures location, condition and employee assignment in real time.

Complete Digital Record

A full digital record of all asset movements and status changes.

Seamless Audits

Audit capability with full accountability across every location.

Centralized Visibility

In healthcare, traceability is safety

A device that can't be found is a device that can't be used when a patient needs it. By capturing every check-in, check-out and status change in a complete digital record, STEMZ turned days-long searches into instant lookups — and made asset traceability a pillar of patient safety across four countries.
