A HEALTHY DOES OF SPEED AND ACCURACY

WAMAS make every application run beautifully.

Pharmaceutical applications have stringent needs when it comes to automating distribution — so it’s a given that their WMS (warehouse marketing system) should provide optimum support.

Considering FDA DSCSA compliance, total accuracy is crucial and security is more paramount than ever. Take into account that expiration dates require pharma serialization, and product must adhere to a first in and first out method for fulfillment.

With pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, automation systems minimize manual handling — and can increase FDA compliance.

But with more and more pharma track and trace rules, you need to know which personnel are in contact with your product at any given time. Furthermore, tracking requirements for regulatory mandates also provide additional criteria. Each order must be managed accurately and efficiently.

Knowing that individuals are counting on fulfillment, speed is of the essence.

When accounting for each SKU and lot number for each order, manufacturers and wholesalers need a secure and accurate software solution providing insights on elements like processor information, packer, transit, and even delivery. This information can easily be contained in one WMS solution such as WAMAS, which provides visibility across multiple facilities and integrates easily with transit information and manufacturer data.
