A LEADING GOVERNMENT PHARMA MANUFACTURER ADOPTS BATCHMASTER ERP TO STREAMLINE MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
One of the major pharma manufacturers of Mumbai, Haffkine Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation Ltd. decided to implement BatchMaster ERP to streamline all the complex manufacturing operations and increase productivity.
This fully owned Government of Maharashtra company- Haffkine is a pioneer in the development and production of a wide range of Bacterial and Viral vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, plague, poliomyelitis, and rabies.
With BatchMaster Software Pvt. Ltd., which is a global ERP solutions provider, Haffkine Bio Pharmaceuticals look forward to eliminating manual processes and embracing continuous improvement.
Earlier, Haffkine Bio Pharmaceuticals was using an in-house developed ERP alongside a finance package, which they outsourced. However, by 1995, this integrated set-up proved ineffective to keep pace with the ongoing technological advancements.
This is because, their in-house software was very complicated, causing employees to struggle with its functionalities. As a result, the said company had to conduct continuous training sessions, which consumed a significant amount of time and resources.
Talking further about the challenges company was facing, the inefficiency of the old ERP software gradually became evident in their work, hampering operational productivity. They were also unable to put approvals to regulate the procurement activities, which made them confront situations like shortage or overstocking.
Adding more to this, the inability of the said company to have a unified view of their Mumbai and Pimpri production units, along with the challenge of managing finances separately at each location, made their journey even more challenging.
And at such a time when the world is demanding improved healthcare services, pharma manufacturing organizations need to strengthen their infrastructure and optimize business processes by adopting a cutting-edge technology. Haffkine firmly believed in this.
So, they commenced their search for an ERP solution and after evaluating multiple ERP systems, they realized that BatchMaster Manufacturing for SAP Business One was the perfect fit for their needs.
Mr. Sanjay Panjwani, Managing Director of BatchMaster Software Pvt. Ltd., also expressed his thoughts on this partnership with Haffkine Bio Pharmaceuticals.
“BatchMaster Manufacturing for SAP Business One possesses all the functionalities Haffkine Bio Pharmaceuticals required, dedicated to simplifying and streamlining their business operations like never before. With a comprehensive 360-degree view and centralized control of both units, BatchMaster will help them effectively manage and synchronize their operations”, said Mr. Panjwani.
“Also, the finance module of our ERP will facilitate them in performing accounting tasks like branch accounting, creating balance sheets, fetching profit & loss statements, GST reconciliation, etc.”, he added.
With this advanced technological solution in place, Haffkine aims to streamline their production and planning, drive operational excellence, and simplify intricate tasks including formulation, R&D, clinical trials—enabling swift adaptability to evolving market dynamics.
BatchMaster ERP is equally enthusiastic and feels delighted to onboard Haffkine Bio Pharmaceutical. “We believe our industry-specific business solution, equipped with comprehensive pharma capabilities, will soon help their business achieve operational excellence," said Mr. Panjwani.
