QRS

What QRS does

QRS Healthcare B.V. is a Netherlands-based medical wholesale distributor founded in 2005 and headquartered at Flight Forum in Eindhoven. The company supplies medical devices, equipment, and consumables — including surgical materials, wound care, diagnostics, PPE, infusion/injection products, and incontinence care — to Dutch healthcare institutions. Its customer base spans all hospitals in the Netherlands, 1,000+ nursing home locations, 600+ independent treatment centers, ambulance services, private clinics, general practitioners, government/NGO buyers, and workplace safety organizations (via subsidiary EVAC). Distribution is operated through a dedicated logistics center and multiple segment-specific online ordering portals (general, nursing home, acute care) with OCI procurement-system integration.

Beyond wholesale, QRS has built a proprietary digital layer atop its distribution business. The AMY IoT platform — co-developed with Alltrace under an exclusive partnership — provides real-time inventory management, asset tracking, facility monitoring (temperature, air quality, leak detection), and automated task assignment using RFID medicards, Wirepas-based hardware, and electronic shelf labels. The Order-it Bestelbord links physical bin depletion to automatic reordering through the QRS portal. QRS also owns exclusive Benelux distribution rights for the evercare medical disposables brand and the First15 Life Saving Kit brand.

QRS operates a sales-led B2B model combining account management, customer service teams, and self-serve digital portals, with revenue from transactional product sales and recurring digital services. The company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stockholm-based Asker Healthcare Group since 2019, operating as part of the Stöpler QRS Group in the Benelux region. QRS is EU-MDR 2017/745 and EU-IVDR 2017/746 compliant as a distributor and holds ISO 14025:2006 certification for environmental product declarations.
