Integrating LIMS and ERP for Faster QA/QC Processes

Pharmaceutical company with separate LIMS and ERP systems

Fragmented data exchange between LIMS and ERP forced manual data entry and caused delays in QA and QC.

The challenge

The situation

Fragmented data exchange between the laboratory information management system and the ERP system led to manual data entry, increased workload and frequent errors. A comprehensive digital integration strategy was needed to streamline QA and QC operations.

Our approach

What we delivered

01

Gap assessment of the interface between LIMS and ERP

02

Mapping of the affected QA and QC processes

03

Training of users for the integrated workflows

The outcome

Results & impact

30% faster QA/QC cycle time

Improved cycle time of QA and QC processes through the integration.

No manual data entry

Elimination of manual data transfer between LIMS and ERP.

No transfer errors

Elimination of errors from manual data entry.

In summary

LIMS and ERP work in an integrated way; QA and QC run faster and without manual data transfer and its associated sources of error.
