Supplier integration in the pharmaceuticals industry

A step towards supply chain integration

Companies in the pharmaceuticals sector are under increasing cost and regulatory pressure. This situation is exacerbated by expiring patents and a long time-to-market with concurrently rising research costs. The challenge for the pharmaceuticals industry today lies more than ever in increasing productivity. IT plays a decisive key role in this, since the networked cooperation of all stakeholders in the supply chain harbours enormous potential for rationalization.

An accelerated flow of information promotes productivity

For companies in the life sciences industry requiring speed and reliability, EURO-LOG has developed a patent recipe for data integration. A neutral IT platform seamlessly links manufacturers, suppliers and logistics services providers. The hub of the solution is the connection of partners and their existing systems to EURO-LOG’s EDI clearing centre.

Secure data interchange between the stakeholders as well as conversion of the required EDI formats is carried out via the data platform – the central universal interpreter. This ensures that order and shipment information is universally available in real time. A variety of different systems can be quickly and flexibly linked. This also applies to partners and suppliers who do not use SAP or another XML-enabled system. In order to enhance the process quality, the number of interfaces is considerably reduced.
