Overview
Talent Pharma is a pharmaceutical company specializing in importing raw materials from international suppliers such as China and the USA. The company operates under a subcontracting manufacturing model, relying on third-party factories that comply with Ministry of Health regulations for pharmaceutical storage, safety, and quality.
The Challenge
Before implementing Odoo, Talent Pharma faced significant operational challenges:
- Raw materials were stored and manufactured at subcontracted factories approved by the Ministry of Health.
- Inventory visibility depended entirely on monthly stock reports sent by the subcontracting factory.
- No real-time tracking of raw material consumption, production quantities, or wastage.
- Difficulty determining actual stock levels or usage between reporting cycles.
- High risk of discrepancies and errors due to manual and delayed reporting.
The Solution
TDS implemented a tailored Odoo ERP solution designed for Subcontracting operations:
- Modules: Inventory, Purchase, Manufacturing (Subcontracting), Accounting, Reporting.
- Real-time tracking of raw materials stored at subcontracted factories.
- Accurate monitoring of consumed, produced, and wasted quantities.
- Automated inventory and production reports, eliminating reliance on monthly manual reports.
- Centralized system providing full transparency and regulatory compliance.
The Impact
The Odoo implementation delivered strong operational results:
- Inventory tracking errors were reduced to near zero.
- Full real-time visibility over subcontracted manufacturing and external stock.
- Precise tracking of material usage, production output, and wastage.
- Improved production planning and faster decision-making through live reports.
- Reduced dependency on delayed factory-reported data.
