The Arterium pharmaceutical corporation has invested more than $1.5 million in the implementation of the IFS Applications platform during 17 years.

The company told Interfax-Ukraine that as a result of the transition to the IFS Applications ™ 10 platform, the company automated quality management that is significant for the pharmaceutical industry, including supplier audits and corrections when nonconformities are found.

In addition, the transition to the platform made it possible to obtain more flexible tools for production planning, technological process management, tracking business transactions, electronic approval of documents at certain stages of the life cycle, visualization of operating results from procurement to shipments.

The corporation expects that the use of this platform will simplify approvals, reduce paperwork, reduce management decision time, as well as use cloud solutions, mobile applications and remote access to information displayed in real time.
