Intelligent Design and Intuitive WMS Simplify Complex Processes

After scrutinizing Bort’s material flow, viastore installed an intuitive system that manages the complex processes quickly and reliably – from goods receiving, through kitting to order picking and shipping.

Bort Medical is a success story. It all began back in 1981 when husband and wife, Rudi and Irmgard Bort, founded a trading company for medical products in Schorndorf (near Stuttgart).

Initially employing three part-time workers in rented premises, the company founders soon decided to set up their own production in addition to selling products from third-party manufacturers.

Since then the company has grown continuously, earning itself a reputation for developing, and manufacturing high-quality medical products, in particular supports and braces.

At the company’s current headquarters in Weinstadt, not far from Schorndorf, the family-run company today employs around 90 people, including 25 field service staff.

At two more locations in Germany, a further 200 employees manufacture about 90 percent of the 5,000 high-quality medical support and brace device items that Bort sells.

Bort delivers its products to medical supply stores, specialist medical retailers, hospitals and pharmacies.
