01 · The Situation

Regulated Labels, Disparate Systems, Paper Archives.

Centurion Medical Products, now part of Medline, has been at the forefront of critical patient care for over 50 years, producing custom procedure kits, dressings, and single-use instruments and trays at five manufacturing facilities and ten distribution centers worldwide. Standalone legacy systems and paper-based archives created inefficiencies across the value chain. Centurion needed to produce labels dynamically and eliminate manual steps, decrease labeling production time, reduce costs and error rates, integrate legacy systems to simplify audit management, convert paper records to digital archives, and ensure compliance with global marking regulations.

“Optima ECM Consulting helped us build a long-term digital content strategy so that we could operate more efficiently, comply with marketing regulations, reduce audit risk, and exceed customer expectations.”

Jon Boland, Vice President, Business Solutions, Medline
