About The Customer
Osoth Inter Laboratories Co. Ltd (OSI), headquartered in Thailand, produces OEM and branded pharmaceutical products and dietary supplements. The company is one of 200 within the SAHA Group. OSI places a premium on regulatory compliance, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction. They have achieved minimal (< 1.8%) total production waste, over 85% customer satisfaction, and nearly 100% on-time deliveries. However, as the company grew, improving on, and even maintaining, those stellar metrics was becoming difficult due to their reliance on an older, locally developed ERP system with limited capabilities.
The Challenge
As OSI grew, maintaining their high-quality metrics became increasingly difficult due to their reliance on an older, locally developed ERP system with limited capabilities. Many of their production, operations, and quality processes were managed manually, relying on spreadsheets and even pen and paper to record and track data. This resulted in errors, slow processes, and a lack of visibility into costs, inventory, time, compliance, and more. OSI needed a solution that could modernize their operations and eliminate these barriers to growth.
The Solution
OSI assembled a team to eliminate these barriers to growth. They found Rootstock at Dreamforce, a cloud-based platform that could leverage OSI’s prior Salesforce experience and could easily expand beyond just operations. To help with deployment, OSI engaged coServe, a global technology solutions provider with cloud migration expertise and a strong presence in Southeast Asia. The only missing component to the solution was support for quality efforts, but with Rootstock and coServe, the company’s complete, cloud-based solution was coming together. The challenges of digitally transforming existing processes at OSI were accelerated by the knowledge and experience coServe brought to the project. Their ability to help OSI fit a new solution into their existing processes was instrumental to the project’s success.

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.
