DiaMed Finds Global Prescription in SAP Business One
The company, which specialises in research and development, production and worldwide services for laboratory diagnostic products, realised it needed to upgrade its business solution in order to operate competitively in a global environment, and keep up with changes in medical regulations.
DiaMed’s existing application, Sage Line100, could neither handle the company’s increased business volumes, nor support the type of tracking and reporting required by relatively new medical regulations. Accounting delays with the existing system were common as some data still had to be entered manually from other departments. Invoicing with Australia’s National Blood Authority (NBA), for example, would take DiaMed 26 hours per month.
“We needed a one-stop solution that could help us manage the business better,” says Geoff Nicol, Director, DiaMed Australia. “We also wanted software that could also assist us in obtaining Therapeutic Goods Accreditation (TGA) and conform to other medical regulatory requirements.”
The flexibility of SAP Business One’s development environment was the critical reason it opted for the solution. “We plan to expand into other countries and SAP Business One has the flexibility to meet our global business requirements,” Nicol says.
The implementation project involved the Sales, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Financials and Service functionality in SAP Business One, with the system design and implementation undertaken by SAP experts Oxygen Business Solutions. Oxygen was also tasked with developing an enhancement to
SAP Business One to manage the unique invoicing requirements of the National Blood Authority (NBA).
SAP Business One began delivering significant returns for DiaMed within the first month after going live. The solution has integrated manufacturing processes with other business functions, and streamlined workflow so that key business data is automatically consolidated and made available in real-time for decision-making across all departments.
