Mentor Media wins at Singapore Business Review National Business Awards 2026 for RFID-based inventory system

The RCS by Mentor Media provided healthcare institutions with confidence in their medical devices’ quality and safety.

Global supply chain specialist, Mentor Media, took home the win in the Supply Chain Technology Category for their RFID Chamber Solution (RCS) at the Singapore Business Review National Business Awards 2026. The accolade celebrates innovation as an important catalyst in facilitating meaningful medical advances in the healthcare ecosystem. Mentor Media’s innovative inventory solution provides full visibility of surgical medical devices, which are distributed to hospitals island-wide. This ensures operational readiness for time-sensitive surgeries whilst assuring safety and quality standards for patients.

Reducing the manual 2-hour reconciliation process to just 5 seconds, RCS replaces tedious manual counting with an automated system capable of accurately identifying more than 200 medical devices in an operating theatre bag. The scan detects missing, incorrect or expired surgical items to allow for easy replenishment. This boosted improvements in warehouse replenishment efficiency, which saw a 27.7% substantial increase.

The shift from manual record-keeping to an automated process has enabled real-time visibility on consumption patterns, product batches, and quality standards, allowing better inventory planning and forecasting.

This initiative has delivered significant savings by reducing administrative burdens, optimising manpower during inventory replenishment, and ensuring faster turnaround times for hospital orders. With these meaningful improvements, Mentor Media has set a new benchmark for efficiency and transparency in healthcare logistics.

SBR National Business Awards

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
