<\/h3>\nThis \u2018black-hole\u2019 in your company\u2019s infrastructure could be the main problem when it comes to maintaining the quality of your product range, your desire to constantly improve your relationship with your customers, keeping on-top of your GMP requirement and could also be taking up most of your quality assurance staff time \u00a0dealing with problems.<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nIn many companies, this \u2018black-hole\u2019 is filled by non-industry specific software or even worse \u2013basic spreadsheets and word documents \u2013 if this is you \u2013 there is only way the quality of your products are going to go \u2013 down!<\/p>\n
You deal in mg and mcg, and in some cases also CFUs and IUs.\u00a0 You also deal with extracts and purities.\u00a0 You also need to record capsule weights during products and generate reports showing yields, timings and more, you also need to have a \u2018Master\u2019 production sheet outlining exactly how this product should be made.<\/p>\n
Even if you are lucky enough to be able to handle most of that within one piece of software, I can bet that at least one part of it is either a) not consistently observed or b) has be completed in a manual capacity outside of your core system.\u00a0 Put simply \u2013 it\u2019s costing you money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve seen all sorts of work-arounds for these problems \u2013 even in some cases where for each and every production, the \u2018master\u2019 record for the formulation has to be manually re-calculated as the software being used isn\u2019t specific enough to deal with mg\/mcg! However regardless of the work-around there is always a \u2018human\u2019 element whereby a member of staff is double checking data across multiple systems or documents and it is precisely THIS manual management which is the crux of the problem.<\/p>\n The answer is very easy actually \u2013 you need to move your business to a single system, specific for your Nutraceutical business which can handle everything in one-place \u2013 PLUS<\/strong> it will also handle everything else you need to do in your business \u2013 Things such as your customer relations, your incoming enquiries, your quotes, sales orders, invoices and more.<\/p>\n As the director of Receta \u2013 an ERP Cloud-based solution specifically designed for the Nutraceutical industry, you\u2019re going to expect me to say that our solution will fix all of these problems for you \u2013 and you\u2019re right \u2013 Receta will do all of that and more.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s not just about your choice of software \u2013 it\u2019s more about you making the decision that there IS<\/strong> a better way to manage your ingredients, formulations and productions.\u00a0 It\u2019s about making the choice that the initial time spent moving to a better solution such as Receta is time well spent when you consider the long term benefits of improvement in accuracy and efficiency!<\/p>\n Within Receta not only do you have the power to control your formulations within a piece of software which understands the differences between things such as purities and extracts, you also get to take advantage of your unique production \u201cmethods\u201d. Commonly referred to as a \u201cMaster Production Record\/Sheet\u201d \u2013 this would usually be a document, manually authored which outlines the individual steps needed to produce an individual batch of your formulation, something which in many cases will be largely ignored by your staff! With Receta we take things further \u2013 not only does it help you choose the steps you need (no more manually writing your Master Production Sheets), it will also allow you to maintain a record of which staff member produced\/completed which step in which production! Staff improvement plans and quality investigations become a breeze.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nIf you\u2019ve stuck with me this far, well done! You\u2019re obviously eager to hear about how you can fix this problem for yourself!<\/h2>\n
