About The Customer
Founded in 1984, All American® Pharmaceutical & Natural Foods Corporation (AAP) is a leading manufacturer of dietary, food and nutritional supplements. They specialize in producing private label and custom formulations for a variety of products from general health and sports nutrition to anti-aging products and food products. AAP has the capability to produce liquid, capsule, powder and tablet products from concept all the way to finished packaging. They’re also the exclusive manufacturer and patent holders of two branded ingredients: KreAlkalyn and Kre-Celezine.
The Challenge
All American Pharmaceutical (AAP) experienced rapid growth, necessitating a new facility and additional resources to support its development and rigorous quality control (QC). The company had a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality products and needed to maintain this tradition while protecting its brand and consumers from potential contamination. AAP required a solution that would support its QC requirements and secure the formulation and manufacturing components.
The Solution
AAP capitalized on their rapid growth opportunity to seek out a new ERP software solution; one that was industry specific and fully integrated, allowing them to keep record of all the material and product data and quality control results. The software also had to provide real-time information. They chose ProcessPro ERP software, which corresponded with AAP’s process for quality control: all materials undergo scientific testing, microbiological testing and quarantining to measure quality; all products are screened for unwanted materials that may adulterate the final product; and finally, once approved, a Certificate of Analysis (CofA) displays the purity, safety and potency of the finished goods.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
