Life Science

Ensure compliance, optimize the supply chain, and automate your business securely

If you are a life science professional, chances are finance and operations needs are not your primary focus. But as a life science project evolves into a life science product and then into a life science business, these needs must be addressed. Finance and operations (such as supply chain management, human resources, etc.) are not the only challenge, but merging these needs with ensuring compliance with the FDA or other industry-specific regulations, your growing therapeutics, medical device, or biotech company can get stopped in its tracks. Rather than investing your energy into vaccine development, personalized medicine, or innovations that can literally change the world, your focus is split between supply chain, regulatory issues, system controls, expense management, safety infrastructure, etc.

Early-stage trial management

Argano enables you to track your trials, budgets, expenses, sales, and marketing costs. Utilizing project management within Microsoft Dynamics 365, tracking costs is simple. Segment your financial costs for more in-depth reporting and control your budget versus actuals. Integration with procurement enables policy-driven workflow approvals for all purchases — directly posted against a project.
 

Inventory control and quality compliance

In a heavily regulated environment, lot and serial traceability is critical. Argano enables you to track from source material through manufacturing and distribution leveraging radio frequency identification (RFID) and near field communication (NFC), to locate, and report on, items by barcode, serial number, and more. Whether you are manufacturing in-house or outsourcing, quality control is paramount. From quality tests, quality orders, and non-conformance reporting, we have you covered. We can help you maintain FDA (GxP) validation standards. From fulfillment and integration with 3PL and full EDI capabilities to FDA validation, Argano readies you for commercializing your products.

Security and compliance for when you go public

Argano Audit and Security Manager supports Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) 404 compliance around segregation of duties (SoD) as well as financial SOX compliance. Control security access and data integrity across your organization with pre-packaged with reports to support your year-end audits.

Successful mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions have historically shaped the life sciences industry into what it is now and continues to shape the future of the industry. Your company may have to change its way of thinking to create more value in the market, drive more revenue, create new technology, and disrupt the competitive landscape — all while trying to maintain systems to manage your operations.

Third-party validation: a best practice we always practice

Our life sciences customers leave nothing to chance, and neither do we. Through a third-party, we ensure FDA validation is built into our methodologies. Concerned about FDA requirements around internal platforms and processes - those attached to the development and design of a pharmaceutical - in the delivery and distribution of your finished product? We have the people and partners to ensure absolute adherence to FDA demands.
