Main Functionalities
Here’s how NexTec Group and Sage X3 helped solve TissueTech’s challenges.
Sage X3 is speeding and streamlining TissueTech’s digital evolution. The software is designed as a multi-entity solution, capable of handling TissueTech’s complex structure. “We have two lines of business, and Sage X3 makes it very easy to manage those companies in a single pane of glass,” says Carlos Jofre Jr., Executive Director of IT at TissueTech.
Life sciences companies like TissueTech are highly regulated. Additionally, the company has its own rigid quality department. Central to compliance with these standards is the ability to closely track and monitor human birth tissue from receipt to production and shipment of unique regenerative products to physicians and clinicians.
Sage X3 provides functionality that can help life sciences companies meet their compliance and quality mandates. “Sage X3 supports our complex and multi-stepped quality assurance program,” Jofre says. “We’re able to serialize samples, track extensive data about each one and maintain product traceability.”
The Sage ecosystem, as Jofre calls it, provides access to hundreds of integrated solutions that extend the functionality of Sage X3. “NexTec has helped us incorporate a few of these solutions that enhance and strengthen
our capabilities,” says Jofre.
One such solution was Automated Data Capture (ADC) that works in concert with the Sage X3 Warehouse Management System to provide barcode functionality.
“NexTec implemented this solution for us,” recalls Jofre. “It went very smoothly with no issues at all. We’re now able to create inter-site transfers in a much more efficient way. This has provided us a time savings of more than eight hours per transaction.”
Jofre is certain that TissueTech has the right ERP solution for its operations, and is now assured it has the right partner to optimize the solution. “We see a level of commitment from the top down at NexTec,” says Jofre. “That commitment is tangible in every interaction. We can see that they are invested in our success—and that makes them an excellent partner.”
He concludes, “NexTec works collaboratively with us to solve problems and come up with new ideas and solutions. They listen to our goals and objectives and help us come up with strategies to reach those goals.”
