Case Studies
 

Client: Leading  pharmaceutical brand

Objective: To replace three disparate commercial systems with C&C Group’s AMS Solution

  1. Dispensing Practice – replacement of Lotus Notes database
  2. Retail – replacement of Microsoft Access Database
  3. Hospital – replacement of various spreadsheets and trackers

Key project challenges successfully overcome:

  • Bringing together 3 different sales channels with disparate ways of working.
  • Facilitating quick responses to tender opportunities via tendering agencies.  This was resolved by providing key mapping functionality between national and Manufacturer codes
  • Enabling quicker rebate runs for the business
