Products Used:
Pharmaceutical Compliance and Regulatory Management

We were approached by a global pharmaceutical manufacturer in January of 2016. This company is composed of thousands of employees, billions of dollars in revenue, three global manufacturing sites and 50 contract manufacturing organizations (CMO’s) worldwide. Their team needed a reliable solution that could meet their unique business needs and one they could trust to scale in the future.
“It’s really not about connectivity. It’s about integration, and that each step in the process has equal need of attention,” said rfxcel CTO Atul Mohidekar “In this process, there are thousands of integration points. Customers need a partner that will take care of these integrations to meet compliance requirements.”
Key project requirements:

- Scalable architecture to handle serialization data for over 3,000 SKU’s, including the ability to aggregate serial numbers

- Easy way to connect and share data with trading partners
- Ability to validate system and have control over software updates

- Fully operational system tested and can go live within six months in order to meet regulatory deadlines and internal project timeline
- Minimal up-front hardware and other capital expenditures and lower ongoing maintenance costs
