METUCHEN, NEW JERSEY and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 20, 2013) - AlcheraBio, a veterinary clinical contract research organization (CRO) based in New Jersey, and Mindprint Inc. of Markham, Ontario, have completed the implementation of a Custom Enterprise Software System (ERP) that will dramatically improve AlcheraBio's productivity, allocation of resources and plans for growth.
AlcheraBio provides the most-up-date support to its clients in the animal health care, biotechnology and life sciences fields by delivering thorough, detailed services quickly.
The implementation allows AlcheraBio to collate several systems to a "one-button push" system that is highly efficient. The system manages CRO operations such as study proposal management, study quotation, timesheets, expenses, invoicing, CRM, and HR.
"Now, we can clearly see where the company might gain efficiency, cut costs, or make additional investments into the business," said Dr. Johnny Jacobsen, COO of AlcheraBio.
The partnership with Mindprint Inc., which designs, develops, and implements cloud-based software solutions for the Clinical Research market, provides something completely different from other solutions: an affordable, cloud-based front-to-back-end, fully customized enterprise software solution that fits the specific needs of AlcheraBio.
"No two contract research organizations are the same, and they all have very complex requirements," said Prasad A. Sristi, founder and president of Mindprint Inc.
"With our Axpert based software, clients get our 'hands-on' systematic approach to helping them solve and manage their internal process challenges, and an attractive subscription package that does not require massive outlays of customer time or money. It provides them the flexibility they need as their organization grows and prospers," he said.
AlcheraBio said the Mindprint solution has already slashed project financial administration management time by nearly three quarters. The company now spends 7 to 8 hours a month (down from 32-36) collecting, aggregating and managing its financial data at month end. Besides harnessing its own internal processes, the technology has helped AlcheraBio offer up-to-date project cost numbers to its clients.
"Transparency is so important in everything we do. Now there are no black holes," said AlcheraBio's COO Dr. Jacobsen.
