R&D

ERP for biotechnology and health R&D

Track kits, reagents and samples by lot, and keep import costs, collaboration contracts, guarantees and project documents together on the record of a long-running R&D project.

Spending and document discipline over multi-year projects

R&D projects in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics run for years. Most of the spending goes to imported kits, reagents and cell culture materials, which must be tracked by lot. Collaborations with universities, hospitals and contract research organizations are bound by confidentiality and intellectual property agreements.

Factorbooks keeps the purchase, payment and budget records of the project in Project Management (VECTRA and ABM packages), and consumables and samples in stock by lot. Patient and volunteer records, clinical study data and laboratory information systems are outside the scope of Factorbooks; this data stays in your own systems. GDPR / KVKK Management can be added as an add-on for personal data processes.

Key benefits for biotechnology and health R&D teams

  • Lot-based consumable tracking

    Kits, reagents and samples are received into stock with their lot number, and their consumption is tracked in Stock Movements.

  • Cost of imported kits

    Freight and customs costs in import files are reflected in material cost through Cost Allocation / Import Nationalization.

  • Long project, one record

    Purchases, payments, advances and documents of a multi-year project accumulate on the project record, so budget variance shows up during the period.

  • Collaboration guarantees

    Letters of guarantee and cash collateral received and given under the project are tracked in Guarantee Management.

  • Confidentiality and IP

    Confidentiality and intellectual property contracts with universities and research organizations are stored by type in ABM packages.

  • Central document archive

    Supplier, personnel and company documents are organized into categories in Document Management in ABM packages.
