CHALLENGES
-
1. Manual Lot Tracking
Lot management was tracked by hand, making it difficult to trace raw materials through production to finished goods. This increased the risk of errors, especially during recalls or audits.
-
2. Time-Consuming Quality Control Paperwork
Quality checks relied on physical documents and spreadsheets, creating bottlenecks and slowing down the release of materials and products.
-
3. Allergen and Expiration Monitoring Risks
Without system-driven checks, monitoring allergen control points and expiration dates was prone to human error, risking compliance issues and potential product quality concerns.
-
4. Disparate Systems
As Bio-Botanica’s operations expanded, its legacy systems were unable to support the complex requirements of process manufacturing, particularly in a regulated environment. Manual processes and disparate systems created silos that hindered visibility and slowed down production planning.
Solution
The company sought a solution that could integrate manufacturing, inventory, and quality management while ensuring compliance with FDA, cGMP, and other regulatory standards.
Bio-Botanica selected BatchMaster ERP with SAP Business One for its deep functionality in process manufacturing and seamless integration across departments. The ERP system tracks and manages raw materials, formulas, in-process inventory, finished goods, and shipping, all within a single, centralized system.
BENEFITS

BatchMaster provides real-time and historical data that helps Bio-Botanica accurately forecast demand and schedule production accordingly.

3. Operational Visibility & Inventory Control
From raw material intake to final packaging, the company now has end-to-end visibility and control, reducing errors and inefficiencies.
