Recipe Management

In the pharmaceutical industry, your recipes or compounds are the lifeblood of your business. You must keep a tight control on your formulations to ensure each batch contains exactly what it should, nothing more or nothing less. But recipe management is also key also for keeping your intellectual property safe. In this competitive industry which often has tight margins, your competitive edge often lives and dies by the confidentiality of your intellectual property.

Inventory and materials management

Since the profit margins in the pharmaceutical industry are sometimes tight, it is very important none finished goods or raw resources go to waste. To help with this, an ERP system gives you a single place of record for all your inventory information. That way, you always know exactly what you have on hand. Often, ERP systems will also assist with materials requirement planning for production and automate much of your procurement and replenishment tasks.

Distribution management

Yet another ERP feature which is especially useful for pharmaceutical companies is the ability to track batches and lots. With these tracking tools, you can follow ingredients throughout the production process, and finished goods from the time they are done until they reach the distributor or end user.

Document management

With all the regulations you face, proper document controls and audit trails are a must. Doing this without an ERP can be extremely difficult and time-consuming. The right software will offer built-in tools to assist with this. Also, an ERP acts as a single place of record for all your important business documents. It keeps everything from processing instructions, laboratory information, sales orders, customer inquiries and just about everything in between in one central location. Better yet, if you choose a cloud ERP, your staff will have access any of these important documents from anywhere, using any device with an Internet connection.
