Ensuring compliance within such industries is critical, requiring robust security measures and thorough documentation of quality procedures.

Additionally, the ability to construct and dismantle kits for replacement parts and accessories streamlines maintenance and repair processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing downtime.

Utilizing connected field service and project accounting capabilities further optimizes equipment management.

Increased visibility improves customer satisfaction and enhances operational transparency and productivity. By leveraging these features within the Acumatica Distribution Edition system, businesses can proactively manage their capital equipment and components, minimize disruptions, and deliver superior service to their clients.

Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, and Medical Products

Customize your ERP system to comply with pedigree traceability regulations governing drugs and medical products. This involves establishing robust inventory management protocols, including the tracking of inventory lots and the ability to pick inventory based on expiration dates. The system should also offer flexibility in defining units of measure to accommodate variable product packaging, ensuring accurate inventory management.

Pedigree traceability regulations require meticulous documentation and tracking of each product's journey from manufacturer to end-user. By configuring your ERP system accordingly, you can efficiently manage this process, maintaining compliance and safeguarding product integrity.

Additionally, implementing features such as automated alerts for approaching expiration dates and real-time inventory visibility enhances operational efficiency and reduces the risk of product wastage or expiration. With a tailored ERP solution in place, pharmaceutical and medical product companies can navigate regulatory requirements, maintain product quality, and uphold patient safety standards.
