Changing the way pharma distribute product information to external stakeholders
Feb 21, 2022
It is vital for pharma to ensure product information is disseminated to key stakeholders in an accurate and timely manner.
It is vital for pharmaceutical companies to ensure medicine information is disseminated to key stakeholders in an accurate and timely manner. However, this process can be laborious and potentially lead to mistakes.
Product information management presents time-consuming challenges for pharma, including:
Maintenance: the responsible teams need to ensure the information available is up to date and accurate.
Formatting: stakeholders require product information submitted in multiple formats. This can generate confusion and increase the time required for completing the task.
Submission: stakeholders have different processes for submitting information, for example via email or by portal.
De-centralised platforms: Pharma often hold the information with logistical, brand or product teams rather than a central repository for both internal and external use
Additionally, often the information is not fully accessible for all stakeholders.
A time-saving solution for the management of product information
emc supply chain is a Product Information Management (PIM) solution for pharma, providing a single source of truth for all product information requirements.
By using emc supply chain, Pharma can manage and distribute its product information to important internal and external stakeholders.
How does emc supply chain work?
- Pharma submits and publishes its product information using the emc supply chain’s easy-access platform
- Pharma product information is then freely accessible using the emc med data portal to all stakeholders including NHS, IT providers and wholesalers.
- Now Pharma can provide up-to-date product information to all key stakeholders in one central location, saving time and providing peace of mind that their product information is in the right place at the right time.
