Expiration Date Tracking |
| SIMMS Expiration Date Tracking system tracks an unlimited amount of expiration dates from the time they are received into inventory until the time they are issued. This information is permanently recorded in the system, allowing inventory control personnel access to a wealth of historical and validation information. The information maintained by the Expiration Date Tracking system is extremely helpful in the flow of inventory items that can expire, such as life saving medications. |

Recall Protection/Risk Mitigation |
| The present-day threats and potential costs associated with recalls have never been higher. A single recall can put you out of business. As companies seek to increase their control and in turn, minimize their risks, they discover that many varied activities both within and outside the organization must be considered. Operations up and down the supply chain must all be addressed. SIMMS helps you monitor, track and control your critical resources including activities and materials. Capabilities in the areas of end-to-end traceability provide flexibility to follow complete histories and audit trails, forward and backward, across the supply chain. Specification management and change management also provide the control and predictability to detect and address variability early in your process. When potential issues are identified, you can quickly determine the underlying cause and then make the necessary corrections and provide supporting documentation. |

Increased Costs and Reduced Margins |
| Growing revenue pressures compel life sciences companies to streamline production and distribution operations. Wringing costs out of these processes must be balanced with maintaining margins to support operations - especially cash-intensive operations like R&D. With visibility across all areas of the organization from finance to manufacturing, companies can begin to fully understand and address how certain practices impact margins and bottom-line profitability. SIMMS software provides the company-wide visibility through integrated information and capabilities to speed the flow of goods, eliminate waste due to costly shelf-life expirations and returns, and gain the efficiency necessary to meet product demand while keeping costs at a minimum. As an example, support for actual costing exposes all material and operation costs, including indirect costs or value resulting from co-products and by-products so you can better understand how margins are affected and to what degree. |

Shortened Time-to Discovery Improves Responsiveness |
| The quicker and easier you see a problem coming, the faster you can respond to it. Customizable, pro-active system alerts and timely data access enable you to more rapidly-and therefore less expensively-discover inventory issues. Problems are remedied in minutes, instead of hours or days, giving you exactly the right inventory, in the right place, at the right time. |

Powerful Yet Easy to Use |
| SIMMS Health Care inventory software was designed to be inexpensive and easy-to-use—a sensible alternative to the more cumbersome and expensive systems. It performs all the advanced functions that small- to large-sized firms desire, yet its familiar Microsoft Windows interface makes SIMMS Health Care inventory software ideal for the non-technical user, running on the kinds of computers you probably already own. So there is no need to buy expensive hardware. Your Windows-based desktop PC (Pentium®) is the ideal machine. |

Increasing Competition Up and Downstream/Time-to-market |
| The intensity and diversity of the life sciences competitive landscape is unprecedented. For the biotechs, threats may originate from upstarts and generic drug makers. These unanticipated competitors challenge established R&D-driven companies to speed time-to-market deadlines so they can adequately recoup investments. Pharmacists face the emergence of buying groups and the expansion of HMOs. The trend toward business alliances including mergers and divestitures, partnerships and other cooperative ventures, constantly reshapes the landscape. This ongoing reorganization undermines traditional sales channels and increases pressure for cost cutting measures. SIMMS software enables biotechs and pharmacists to optimize product service and value, deliver high-quality products on time, meet customer and regulatory requirements, increase operational efficiencies throughout the enterprise, and embrace and leverage opportunities for business change. All of these areas are critical to compete effectively and continually increase your business as market demands shift and requirements change. |
