ERP software for life science industry based on network


QAD is committed to assisting manufacturers in the life sciences industry. Another way QAD can make business operations more efficient is through our web-based ERP software QAD On Demand. This web-based ERP solution enables life science enterprises to focus on their business rather than their software. The online functionality of our ERP software greatly reduces implementation costs and IT maintenance.
The QAD On Demand Life Science Suite provides the same functionality as the On Demand Standard Edition, but also offers a qualified environment and necessary standard operating procedures (SOPs) that comply with the inspection requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP).
QAD recognizes that our customers trust us, just as they trust their enterprise resource planning solution providers. That's why so many life science companies choose QAD.

Key issues in the life sciences industry


Compliance with global regulations: Governments worldwide enforce quality standards on life science manufacturers, regardless of their sales or distribution of products. Generally speaking, regulations cover various aspects of product production, sales, marketing, and distribution. Failure to comply can result in high fines and product recalls. Compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) is the main pressure faced by display and validation systems.
QAD provides tools that help ensure users comply with all processes and safeguards.
Launching new products: Reaching the limits of patents, technology, and innovation is crucial for promoting the success of life science enterprises.
QAD enterprise applications provide the necessary tools for managing resources and controlling costs at various stages from discovery and development to marketing and production.
Reduce risk: The life sciences industry requires secure and auditable systems. If a product is under investigation, access to detailed product history from discovery to production is required.
QAD enterprise applications provide manufacturers with tools to manage system validation, electronic records and signatures, comprehensive audit tracking, and batch tracking, thereby reducing risks and achieving cost-effective management compliance.
Improving supply chain performance: Supply chain managers need to be fully visible to a wide range of supply chains in order to gather information from suppliers and collaborate with customers.
QAD enterprise applications provide tools such as supply chain portals that simplify prescribed secure access.

The value chain of the life sciences industry


The number of participants in the life science value chain may not be large, but their relationships are particularly close, long-lasting, and deep. And due to regulatory constraints on changes, the supply chain tends to remain stable.
