Existing Business Challenges

Potential errors on labels such as:

• Inaccurate set up of formulae for expiration dates and barcodes
• Spelling errors, the wrong use of symbols, and other crucial information will severely hit the reputation, revenues, and market share of life science companies.

Solutions

• Implement robust quality control mechanisms

Existing Business Challenges

The labels created for international product delivery, must comply with international regulatory requirements such as FDA, EMEA, MDD and other regional directives per respective regions.

Solutions

• Data structuring
• Interface design using templates and formats

Existing Business Challenges

Multiple product identification standards are being used by Life Sciences companies (such as GS1, HIBCC, EAN, & UPC). This needs to be simplified and standardised for products delivered internationally, where they need global supply chain tracking.

Solutions

• Implementation of global standards like GS1 for unique product identification and tracking

Existing Business Challenges

In spite of efforts towards global standardisation, there are region specific requirements for products, such as language and regulatory requirements. Local variations of products are applied and verified by corporate and contract manufacturers, suppliers, and distribution facilities.

Solutions

• Implement region-specific interfaces and filters for ERP systems in specific regions.
• Implement requirement-based SOPs

Existing Business Challenges

For Life Science companies, the scope of labelling goes beyond sticking labels. It is a combination of Instructions for Use (IFUs), managing technical and regulatory data, sterilisation and material considerations, etc.

Solutions

• Centralised ERP system implementation, leveraging, and customization.
• Create SOPs at the departmental and interdepartmental level.
