December 14, 2021

Traceability has never been more critical for an ever-evolving industry like pharma. Consequently, consumers and regulatory authorities have high expectations that are only getting higher.

Imagine a scenario where your supplier notifies you that there is a severe flaw in the batches they delivered. You have used goods in multiple production processes, and your final goods are either somewhere in your warehouse, or even worse, have already been sent to a customer.

How frustrating and time-consuming would it be to track all the goods to recall them?

Here’s the good news: With the right and powerful ERP software tracking your whole product journey, it leaves no room for flaws.
