ERP Software for Life Sciences Companies

Outsource Collaboration

At CDC Software, we realize there are endless scenarios that could describe how you outsource. Maybe you outsource manufacturing and distribution logistics to one partner and have the contract manufacturer responsible for everything, with you paying only for finished product. Maybe you have 15 or more outsource partnerships. Maybe you fall between these extremes and have multiple manufacturers, in cascading or toll processing supply chains. Whichever side of the outsource equation you're on, we understand it and we partner with clients in it every day.

Exclusively from CDC Software

Your outsource activities require an enormous amount of data collection, and in companies like yours, many of these transactions are left on paper or transcribed into Excel or Access. The Ross Enterprise Outsource Collaboration (OSC) application, by CDC Software, addresses critical factors not addressed by these manual methods:

  • Efficiency & accuracy in manual transaction record keeping
  • Event & workflow notification of deviations, 'out-of-tolerance' materials, or production issues
  • Data availability to decision makers for analysis & optimized decision making

But we're not exaggerating when we say that the OSC application within Ross Enterprise gives our Life Sciences clients a combination of capabilities that aren't available anywhere else in the market, including:

  • Automated collection of data at all 3rd party sites
  • Real-time status of all materials at all sites
  • Notification in the event of 'out-of-tolerance' operations and CAPA resolution workflow
  • API to wholesaler lot genealogy, QC controls, & in-transit tracking
  • Optimization of demand and inventory planning at each location
  • Costing, yield, and performance benchmarking and KPI dashboards across the supply chain
  • Lower risk and vastly improved supply chain operations

In addition to the information provided on these pages, we also invite you to visit our Life Sciences Resource Library for complimentary document downloads on a range of topics in Life Sciences that may be valuable to you and your organization.

And please remember that regardless of your specialty within the Life Sciences arena, we'd like nothing better than for you to talk to a current client whose business falls in your area of expertise. Just contact us, and we can make that happen too!
