Industry: FDA Regulated Manufacturing
A cosmetic manufacturer that was FDA regulated was working off of paper batch records, resulting in a timely process when needing to retrieve documents. The company was also concerned over the potential loss of their intellectual data. Recordsforce digitized their back records, bulk records and finished goods, extracted data such as formula numbers and product codes. The images and data were then delivered directly to the client. Now the cosmetic manufacturers have a quick and efficient retrieval process, while having increased safety and security over their important data and documents.
Analyzing The Problem
A cosmetic manufacturer was having difficulty retrieving documentation when required. Their batch records, bulk records and finished goods were all paper files within folders, making it a timely process to search for the correct documentation. They were also concerned over the potential loss of documents, from accidental misplacement or natural disasters.
