Life Sciences

A life sciences software solution must be able to accommodate the manufacturing and distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and medical supplies. This diverse product offering requires an ERP software package that is capable of managing discrete, process, and mix-mode manufacturing concurrently. This multi-dimensional manufacturing process requires the ability to record production in lot quantities or by unique serial numbers, while still remaining fully compliant with government agencies and rulings. These stringent compliance requirements go well beyond that of other industries and require the tracking of electronic signature software, include full audit capabilities, and provide complete backward and forward lot tracking for recall management.
