Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Fills Prescription for DEACOM ERP Software
SMI entered the nutraceutical industry in 1996 with a key line of flavor formulations, and currently specializes in the formulation, packaging, and logistics of nutritional supplements. The company used manual processes to manage its business, such as Excel® and Word applications to generate regulatory documentation like Certificates of Analysis and product labels, and Quickbooks to track formulations.
These manual processes, coupled with the company's opening of a new cGMP-certified facility in early 2010 to manufacture over-the-counter and prescription thin-strip dissolvable pharmaceutical products, drove SMI to search for a single Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system.
"At SMI, we place quality and service as our top priorities," said Kevin Taheri, CEO of SMI. "We needed a system that could handle our strict manufacturing requirements, and easily transition into a company with minimal IT support."
SMI selected the DEACOM Integrated Accounting and ERP Software System based on its ability to seamlessly link all areas of a pharmaceutical manufacturer - including inventory and lot control, formulation, purchasing, production, sales and CRM, regulatory reporting, and accounting - in a single system.
Taheri said the simplicity of DEACOM stood out from other software systems.
"We sought a vendor that could handle our aggressive three-month implementation schedule, and handle it well," said Taheri. "DEACOM's design and installation process is straightforward enough to accomplish our goal."
SMI is scheduled to go live with DEACOM in December 2009 in their existing facility, and will bring the new plant online in the first quarter of 2010.
