  Know your bottom line. Westernacher can help you get you the analytics you need when you need them. Whether in branded pharma, generics or medical devices, Westernacher has the expertise to help you get timely and accurate profitability information by product, brand, market, or business entity.
- R&D Project Costing and Evaluation
  Assessing, budgeting, tracking and accounting for development projects is a challenge for many life science companies; not only from a process but also a systems perspective. We provide advice on process optimization and systems integration.
- Service Supply Chain
  Westernacher views the supply chain as a seamless link between the activities and functions involved in creating products or services, which starts with your supplier’s supplier and ends with your customer’s customer. By treating the Supply Chain holistically, conjointly optimizing all of its constituents, we help you unleash your company’s potential and improve your competitive edge.
- Network & Inventory Optimization
- Revenue Assurance
Be Compliant
- Document Management
  Data sharing and collaboration internally, across sites and with third parties is increasingly important for cost-efficient research and development. Westernacher helps implement and optimize knowledge management tools to share structured and unstructured research information.
- Quality Management
  Be it the implementation or optimization of quality systems per se, or the implementation and optimization of your companies quality processes, Westernacher has the experience and know-how to help assure quality and compliance.
- E-Submissions/ Regulatory Submissions Management
  Electronic document management systems can greatly facilitate and speed up the work of regulatory departments. However, these somewhat stand-alone solutions are usually not fully integrated into the end-to-end R&D document management process. Westernacher can help release the full efficiency potential of electronic submissions by making them an integral part of your companies electronic data management solutions.
- cGxP Compliance
  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that any life science company is operated in a state of control that ensure compliance with the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and portions of the cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations. For life science companies, this translates into Quality, Facilities and Equipment, Materials, Production, Packaging and Labeling as well as Laboratory Control Systems, to ensure products are handled in a traceable, ‘controlled’ manner. Westernacher can help implement the overarching compliance strategy and processes. We also have experience in implementing detailed compliance controls, reports and monitoring tools at the system module or integrated system level.
- Medicaid Reporting
  In the US, most pharmaceutical companies participate in the Drug Rebate Program. Price calculations, data validation, submission and documentation methodologies create a wealth of challenges for companies with integrated ERP environments. Westernacher addresses these challenges by analyzing each companies’ unique situation, since the underlying data structures determine the best solution and whether an out-of-box package or an integrated custom solution is more viable.
- Track & Trace Pedigree and Serialization
  Westernacher efficiently and proactively guides customers through the entire Pedigree and Serialization integration process.
