Pharmaceutical

The Lifeblood of Every Business
ANY COMPANY THAT SELLS AND DISTRIBUTES PHARMACEUTICALS CAN USE ZWAY TO AUTOMATE THEIR WHOLE BUSINESS.

By:

  • Not trying to “boil the ocean”. Look at each challenge one at a time.
  • Consider your “dream outcome” and tell the Zway planning team.
  • Tell us systems you already have that work well.  Keep them!
  • ‘Piece by Piece’ company-wide integration and automation.

Whatever you do, DON’T try to specify more than one process at a time.  Work in small segments and avoid those firms offering risky “ERP Installations”.  Here are some typical problems Zway has already solved for other clients in the “pharma” industry.

Managing Supply Chain

IF YOU DON’T MANUFACTURE, CONTROL OF YOUR  SUPPLY CHAIN IS CRITICAL.

Zway has created an automated supply chain management process.  This will allow you to know exactly when to place new orders based on historic facts and rules you apply. It will allow you to know exactly where your deliveries are and what stage in your own process they sit.  Control, peace of mind and reduced problems when fulfilling orders!

Zway Supply Chain Management

  • A secure supplier portal for each supply partner.
  • Real-time communications platform with notifications and history
  • Rules based order process unique to each supplier including EDI or API connections
  • You control the journey from manufacture through compliance to warehouse
  • Suppliers can be regularly analysed for risk and compliance 
  • No limit on the number of products that can be tracked and fulfilled.
We understand this:

Managing Thousands of Customers

Personalise your own process:
SELLING TO CHEMISTS AND SUPERMARKETS ALIKE.

The number of places open to sell your products are growing every day.  Traditional outlets such as Chemists and Pharmacies will always dominate.

Ask Zway to show you how each individual account can be given their own rules of supply and their own pricing strategy.  It’s linked to forecasts and performance!

Zway Unified CRM and Account Management

  • Full order to Cash process.
  • Ability to manage each account by forecasts and automate responses
  • Unique pricing strategies per client / account
  • Apply trading rules and restrictions in the event of pandemics
  • Real-time reports and alerts on each client if required
  • Order taking automated from emails, EDI or API as well as by hand
  • Batch strategy and manual intervention for anomalies or non-standard clients

Keeping track of stock across multiple sites

USING 3rd PARTY LOGISTICS PARTNERS ALONGSIDE YOUR OWN WAREHOUSING CAN BE DIFFICULT TO MANAGE.

When stock goes missing it is not just the cost of the stock you lose.  The time it takes to properly account for stock is horrendous.  This is time no business cannot afford.

Zway’s automation of your warehouse and integrated 3rd party management makes stock tracking a breeze.

Zway Logistics Management

  • Add as many locations as you wish. 3rd party or self-run warehouses and stores
  • Add as many sub-locations as you wish. Break your space into easy definable “Bins”
  • Use QR codes and location services to track each stock item and scan to see status immediately.
  • Every movement of stock is recorded with indelible history log.
  • All historic records digitised, safely stored and easily accessible.
  • Time saved due to, no longer needed, manual production and distribution.
  • Use standard mobile devices off the shelf. No need for expensive hardware.
Time is Money:

Personalised Product Catalogues are Critical in Pharma

Batches and Shelf Life
TOO MANY DIFFERENT PRODUCT LINES, CODES UPC’S, EAN’S AND PACK SIZES.

The amount of different lines and pack sizes and doses available in pharmaceuticals are huge.  Cataloguing them and keeping them easily up to date is critical.

Zway enables you to specify exactly what information you need to store and in what format.  Then, if it changes, your forms are dynamic and you get to change them again if you wish.  Stay well clear of applications designed for the mass market.  these products were designed for all, but actually fit none.

Zway Personalised Product Catalogue

  • You will be able to design your own product forms to store the information you and your clients need
  • Single point of truth for all information means you only have to enter this information once.  It is then available anywhere you need it in future.
  • Each product can have any number of sub products and pack sizes
  • Save the equivalent of at least one full-time staff member as products can be added and linked to stock in seconds.
  • See immediately what stock is coming, remaining and forecast at a glance
  • Track cost of each product, landed costs and track gross profits per product.

Zway has a risk-free process to make this easy

SOMETIMES YOU KNOW WHERE YOU NEED TO GO, BUT GETTING THERE LOOKS SO HARD AND RISKY. 

We will never take you back to the “bad old days” of big ERP specifications, tenders and never-ending consulting engagements.

The Zway team are specialists using new “lean development” techniques to ensure that each process is standalone, but is eventually linked into the whole business.  This means you get to solve each problem individually, test it, sign it off and use it, before the next issue is tackled.  In a time when 75% of big ERP projects fail to deliver what the users wanted, Zway delivers piece by piece and your budgets see ROI as your automated footprint grows.

Zway Specialise in Lean Development

  • In each 3-week sprint, Zway delivers a solution to each problem. A vehicle to take each new opportunity you develop.
  • Zway offers real-time views of your own portal and mobile apps, so you can see each new development as it matures.
  • Each small sprint ends with User Acceptance and full documentation and training for users.
  • ROI is achieved instantly as each new solution can be used in anger right away.
  • Lean development encourages feedback, pivots, changes and constant improvement as the footprint grows.
  • NO RISK. You don’t pay until you see your automation with your data in the real World.  Zway does this because of our confidence that we only develop solutions that pay back, time and time again.
