PHARMACEUTICALS

Very few drug candidates, complex drug approvals, crowdedcompetition in generic segment, stricter regulatory vigilance, andcontrol over rising healthcare costs are the broader challengesbusinesses are faced with. Looking deeper, the following are thebusiness complexities.

Rising costs of New Drug Discovery with very little time forinvestment recovery demands greater control of costs, material

wastage and tracking of experiments and results.

A crowded competition in the generic segment calls for rapiddevelopment of Non-Infringing-Processes (NIP) and approval

of Drug Master Files (DMF) and Abbreviated New DrugApplications (ANDA), which involve time consumingprocesses.

While increasing regulatory vigilance and audits stretch theresources of companies to the limit, compliance to cGLP/cGCP is becoming stringent and preparation of CTD is adaunting task.

As Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (APIs) and intermediatesbecome commodities, and dropping prices result in shrinkingmargins, companies need greater operational control for

efficiency, productivity and reduced costs.Excessive competition in the generic segment has put dosageforms manufacturers into a tight corner.

Stricter regulatory and statutory vigilance (cGMP, cGLP, USFDA CFR 210, 211 and CFR 21 part 11) can mean increasedfocus on processes.

Sudden demand-supply gap in raw material can lead todisruption in supply of formulation products and significantvariance in cost of production.

Non-availability of timely, critical information on issues like

sales, profitability, shelf movement, outstanding paymentstatus, samples distribution across geographies and unitscan affect market share.

Inefficient demand management can mean direct losses due tolack of stocks.

Ineffective market intelligence can get you lagging behind asmarter competition.

Unwelcome surprises on batch expiry, breakages/ damages andpilferage can be nasty.

SpectraSoft has a deeper understanding of all the vital issues that

affect the performance of fast growing businesses in thepharmaceutical industry. With our perspective that goes wellbeyond the core areas of R&D, Manufacturing and Supply ChainLogistics, we can put you in total control of your business.
