Almac Sciences selects SSI Tropos ERP for supply chain-wide improvement

Almac Sciences ordered the system following an internal review. It says the system will manage all products and services throughout its supply chain, also supporting its lean production initiative and providing for integrated quality control. Cost tracking is to be provided through integration with Almac’s existing Oracle Financials. “Our previous methods for purchasing and inventory control could no longer support our rapidly expanding manufacturing business, so we needed a fully integrated system that could give us total control over our entire operation,” explains Paul McQuillan, financial controller at Almac Sciences. “Through Tropos we have that control, enabling us to enhance and develop the standards that we work to. We’re winning more customers and synthesising more products all the time, so we needed a solution that would not only give us visibility and control over our process, but one that is really aligned to the demands of our industry. “We have specific regulations to adhere to, as well as internal quality control that must go on, and SSI proved through its solution and its consultancy expertise that it really knows the pharmaceuticals industry.”
