The user-centered functionalities provide you with accurate and clear information overviews in a few clicks.
Shop Floor Integration
Integrate smart technology like IoT and sensors, and seamlessly connect your manufacturing processes with other business processes for a real-time 360°-view of your entire supply chain.
Ensuring a Validated Platform
CSV certified with thorough GxP knowledge: We work with a GAMP5 compliant implementation methodology that features proven risk mitigation and is documented throughout.
Proven Industry Best Practices
Integrate SAP add-on solutions – like SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Ariba – and best practices that have already proven themselves in your industry, and with which we have extensive experience.
Future-Proof Solution
Scale up whenever your business demands it. SAP S/4HANA integrates easily with industry specific and best of breed solutions. This flexibility lets you respond quickly to changing market conditions.

Become More Intelligent with SAP Track & Trace Solutions
Serialization with SAP ATTP for Global Compliance
Serialization is a complex subject, in which international laws and regulations, IT and logistics come together. SAP Advanced Track and Trace for Pharmaceuticals (ATTP) minimizes the costs of maintaining compliance and supports a secure supply chain.
This innovative serialization and track-and-trace solution helps pharmaceutical manufacturers validate products, integrate business processes, and communicate with regulatory bodies. In this way, the tracking software contributes to patient safety.
Batch Management with SAP GBT for Fast Issue Solving
How can you ascertain the origin, current location, and quality of products? SAP Global Batch Traceability (GBT) makes all movements and relevant features transparent, from raw material to packed product. SAP GBT enables an effective and efficient analysis of the complete genealogy.
The batch management system links data from different sources and brings it together in one system. Using a powerful and fast search engine, organizations have access to a single version of the truth.
Integration of SAP Global Batch Traceability at Sanquin
With SAP GBT, Dutch blood bank operator Sanquin now has the ability to integrate all the batch relevant data using internal and external sources, and get a direct overview of their supply chain from a logistics and quality perspective.
This continuous ‘situational awareness’ will ultimately protect their product, their brand, and most importantly their patients.
