In the evolving landscape of orthotics and prosthetics (O&P), efficiency is no longer a nice-to-have, it's a necessity.

Clinics and manufacturers alike are facing rising patient volumes limited staffing and stagnant reimbursement models. These mounting pressures don’t only demand harder work but also smarter solutions.  

That’s where Spentys steps in.

In a recent collaboration with a clinic in the Netherlands, Spentys’ modular automation software contributed to a significant reduction in operational costs while maintaining high patient satisfaction and consistent clinical outcomes.

The pain of staying traditional

In today’s O&P landscape, clinics are navigating growing patient volumes, labor shortages and time-intensive manual workflows. On the other hand, challenges arise from stagnant reimbursement models that haven’t kept pace with rising labor and material costs.  

Without the right tools, scaling becomes unsustainable.  

These challenges aren’t hypothetical, they're echoed across both SME clinics and large enterprise networks. While many recognize the need for digital transformation, the way forward often feels murky.

The truth?

Transformation doesn’t mean replacing everything, it means enhancing what works through purpose-built, clinician empowering tools.

From Cost Pressure to Performance Gains

Despite having a skilled team and several years of clinical experience, one Netherlands based clinic struggled to scale efficiently. Manual production steps slowed down turnaround times, onboarding new technicians was labor-intensive and each step added cost.  

Their goals were clear:

• Reduce cost per device

• Improve patient satisfaction

• Streamline production time and technician workload  

Through a structured implementation of Spentys' modular automation software, the clinic transformed its operations and achieved measurable outcomes:

‍

• Over 50% reduction in production costs – freeing up capital to reinvest in growth

• Higher patient satisfaction  - automation in the process of creating custom –fit devices allowed for reduced patient discomfort, device remakes and returns  

• Improved device consistency - powered by Spentys 3D modeling with fewer errors  

• Scalable workflows - empowering the clinic to grow despite limited labor resources

This transformation wasn’t driven by a single tool – it was a result of aligning the clinic’s people, processes and technology.

With Spentys, embracing digital transformation doesn’t mean abandoning your current workflow but rather, preserving your clinical expertise while enabling scale with the help of automation software and proven tools for cost reduction in O&P manufacturing.

Conclusion

As demands on O&P clinics continue to grow, traditional workflows are proving to be too slow, too expensive and too rigid. Scaling care and improving patient outcomes requires more than just digital tools. It requires tools designed to help clinicians to enhance their competency and make things run faster, not to replace them.

With demonstrated results in cost reduction in O&P manufacturing and a discovery-based approach rooted in real clinic collaboration, Spentys offers more than just software. It offers a path forward.
