Making maintenance costs transparent: Cosolvia in the trade journal *Klinik Einkauf*

In many hospitals, medical technology documentation is still viewed as a tedious chore. Yet it offers enormous potential for transparency, cost control, and strategic investment planning.

In a recent interview with Klinik Einkauf, Christian Somberg, Managing Director of Cosolvia Krankenhaustechnik GmbH (part of the Vivecti Group), that a consistently maintained master data database is crucial for the economic management of the equipment fleet. Only when device data, movements, costs, and service contracts are recorded uniformly can hospitals make optimal use of their resources.

A particular focus is on service level agreements: Hospitals often pay too much for maintenance services because contracts are not tailored to actual needs. Cosolvia provides support here with market knowledge and consulting—from assessing market-driven prices and critically reviewing service contracts to assisting with renegotiations. This enables clinics to act strategically rather than merely reacting to problems.

Since early 2025, Cosolvia has been part of the Vivecti Group and has expanded Vivecti’s portfolio to include comprehensive optimization and support services for the procurement and operation of medical and building services equipment. By combining the expertise of sister companies Prospitalia and Cosolvia, hospitals can, for example, be offered improved terms for service and maintenance contracts at very short notice.
