How Sana Kliniken AG saved money without compromising sustainability.
After implementing post output management, Sana Kliniken have been able to record significant savings every year thanks to the dispatch of post with eBrief.
The switch to digital post solutions led to a noticeable reduction in the overall operational expenditure at Sana Kliniken.
By automating outgoing post, Sana Kliniken employees saved valuable time for other tasks.
The reduced printing effort significantly lowered the consumption of printer ink, leading to cost savings for Sana Kliniken.
By reducing paper and energy consumption, Sana Kliniken significantly reduced their carbon emissions.

By implementing a post output management system with eBrief, we can generate significant attention at Sana Kliniken each year.
The introduction of a digital post output management system at Sana Kliniken has led to considerable advantages, including the minimisation of costs and time spent for postal administration.
By leveraging digital post output management, large corporate groups, such as Sana Kliniken, can achieve considerable savings in the postage costs of their business post. For large volumes of post, the savings potential is significant.
Printing, folding and stamping are carried out centrally by the local eBrief service provider at more favourable conditions, saving additional costs for paper, printer ink and other materials. As the post can be transmitted digitally to eBrief at any time, Sana Kliniken can enjoy considerable time savings, more efficient workflows and a higher availability of workers.

The introduction of the eBrief digital post output management system at Sana Kliniken has made a significant contribution to helping the company achieve their operational goals. eBrief has enabled Sana Kliniken to minimise their costs and time, successfully automate workflows and guarantee compliance with high security standards.
eBrief eliminates the use of paper and other materials on site, as the printing is performed directly by the local eBrief service provider. The post is uploaded directly via the interface. There is now no need to fold letters and place them in envelopes, to stick stamps on them and go to the letterbox – saving valuable staff resources.
The integration of eBrief has led to a considerable reduction in costs and time throughout the entire postal process, with around 145,000 letters dispatched every year.
»The launch of eBrief at Sana’s clinics went very well – from the initial project idea to the drawing-up of the contract to the technical implementation – thanks to PIN AG’s customer-centric approach.«
The integration of security mechanisms ensures sensitive data is reliably protected throughout the entire processing process. eBrief works with the latest encryption technologies and access controls – guaranteeing the highest level of security for all data. This is particularly important in the healthcare industry when dealing with patient data.
Digitalisation with eBrief enables the automatic processing of postal processes. This not only reduces manual intervention – it also minimises potential sources of error. This automation makes a significant contribution to reducing the time required by staff to prepare post, as it eliminates the need to manually process each individual letter: no more printing, folding, putting it in an envelope, stamping and, last but not least, taking it to the post office. The overall efficiency of postal administration increases significantly.
The strategy of systematically introducing a digital post output management system has paid off for Sana Kliniken. The collaboration with eBrief has been a success story from day one.
