Pharmaceuticals

Industry ChallengesIn the Pharmaceuticals industry, all ingredients, manufacturing processes and labelling must adhere to strict international standards, so pharmaceutical businesses need to ensure that every part of their process is compliant. To support growth as well as accountability, pharmaceutical companies are looking to Sapphire Systems to take their business forward faster.

A key concern for the industry is the rise of counterfeiting across the supply chain. Aside from the obvious dangers of consumers buying unregulated products online, businesses need to be vigilant to ensure that products are not contaminated or adulterated at any point between raw material and customers. New regulations require that products are individually serialised, meaning that businesses must manage vast stock databases.

The burden of quality control procedures can inhibit the development of new products, meaning that improved formulas are slow to market and costly to produce, often making them too expensive to be widely used.

With new drug approvals often taking years, pharmaceutical businesses need to streamline development processes to ensure that new products are brought to market as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Many pharmaceutical businesses are using multiple systems to manage individual processes, hindering their ability to accurately track all the required procedures and reporting requirements.

To tackle the many challenges of this industry, Sapphire offers dedicated software designed with all the tools and functionality pharmaceutical businesses require to meet regulations and grow profitably.

Our SolutionsEnterprise Resource Planning Sapphire’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software provides you with a single, integrated software platform designed to consolidate information across your entire business. By including financials, sales, customer relationship management (CRM), stock and operations, an ERP solution will enable your business to meet regulatory requirements, improve efficiency and develop new revenue streams.

Formulation management can be streamlined with automated audit trail and ingredient documentation. Formula changes are automatically recorded, resulting in guaranteed precision for ingredient listings, declaration statements and product labels, making it easier to scale production for formula adjustments.

The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module enables accurate and effective forecasting for production management. Efficiency is achieved through automatic scheduling of manufacturing orders, allowing you to optimise production, minimise downtime and maximise revenue.

The system helps you create an accurate audit trail from goods-in to customer delivery with precise, repeatable quality control processes and procedures, while automated alerts notify when quality inspections are required.

Product safety datasheets and compliance records can be stored centrally to guarantee latest version availability. The built-in

licensing restrictions and quality control compliance ensure conformity to GxP and ISO standards.

360° batch control and traceability allow you to track the genealogy of all product ingredients and component throughout the manufacturing and supply chain. Mitigate the impact of product recalls by ensuring single packs are serialised, providing end-to-end traceability from production through to the end patient.

Simplify your most critical processes with automated reporting administration that satisfies industry requirements. With improved access to comprehensive real-time information across the business, you can create accessible, accurate and insightful reports. With the additional support of businesses intelligence and financial management, ERP will provide greater clarity over your business’ operations and enhance robust decision making.

Enterprise Asset Management

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software will ensure that you maximise the effective life of your assets and infrastructure. The power of EAM lies in its ability to align manpower, equipment and resources, maximising all aspects of asset management and preventive maintenance. Integration with mobile working applications, the back office and the Internet of Things combine to deliver real return on investment.
