They had three months to comply; not complying would result in substantial fines and possibly damage future dealings with one of their largest markets, China.<\/p>\n<h2>Their Solution?<\/h2>\n<p>Working with QAD, Aesica upgraded to the latest version of QAD\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/cloud-erp\">ERP solution<\/a> which included a brand-new Serialization module to address their compliance needs. The ERP upgrade proved to be the right choice for Aesica. Thanks to their ERP upgrade, Aesica can now identify individual packaging units down to the smallest sellable unit, aggregate individual unit serial numbers, track and trace each single pack of medication, and report serial numbers to the required government agencies. Maurizio Beninati, IT Director at Aesica commented that \u201cIt\u2019s critical in our business to be able to adapt to unforeseen changes. QAD helped us do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/3488095\/3499612\/aesica-qad-case-study.pdf\/5cdd02f0-8652-4558-b3bf-0b1e18806623\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the full story<\/a> on how Aesica met the accelerated CFDA deadline in just three months with an ERP upgrade and are ready for future growth.<\/p>\n<h2>QAD ERP Built for Life Sciences<\/h2>\n<p>Like Aesica, life sciences manufacturers face a number of special challenges when it comes to government regulations and compliance needs.
