Streamline Regulatory Compliance and Boost Operational Efficiency with Slingshot Pharma

Introduction

In the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, ensuring compliance with FDA guidelines while maintaining operational efficiency is a complex challenge. Slingshot Pharma provides a robust, FDA-compliant ERP software solution that helps pharmaceutical companies navigate the intricate landscape of regulatory requirements while optimizing their business processes.

With Slingshot Pharma’s ERP system, companies can streamline compliance, enhance data integrity, and improve efficiency, ensuring they meet FDA requirements while driving business success.

Why does FDA Compliance Matter in Pharma ERP?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforces rigorous regulations on pharmaceutical companies to protect public health, ensure product effectiveness, and maintain data integrity. Adhering to these standards demands precise documentation, rigorous quality control protocols, and secure data management.
Failing to meet FDA standards can result in severe consequences, including:

  • Rejection of FDA approval blocking commercial release
  • Warning letters issued based on findings discovered during inspection, complaint investigations, etc.
  • Data integrity issues
  • Product recalls
  • Loss of reputation and consumer trust
  • Operational disruptions and rising business expenses

Slingshot Pharma's comprehensive, FDA-compliant ERP system helps businesses mitigate these risks while optimizing business processes.

Key Features of Slingshot Pharma’s FDA-Compliant ERP Software

1. 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance: Ensuring Data Integrity

One of the most critical FDA regulations for pharmaceutical companies is 21 CFR Part 11, which establishes criteria for the use of electronic records and electronic signatures in the regulated Pharma industry. Slingshot Pharma’s ERP system ensures Part 11-compliance by offering:

  • Unique identification (ID) and password to prevent unauthorized access
  • Controls to prevent unauthorized use such as password expiration, system lockout after failed login attempts, and access level (role-based) restrictions
  • Electronic signatures to authenticate and approve records
  • Field level audit trails to track changes, approvals, and modifications

By integrating these features, Slingshot Pharma’s ERP system eliminates the risks associated with manual and/or paper-based processes and ensures regulatory compliance.

2. Complete and Comprehensive Validation Process

A complete and comprehensive validation package ensures the successful implementation of the Slingshot Pharma ERP solution. Our streamlined validation approach combines industry best practices with efficiency, assuring regulatory compliance. With a proven validation process, a company can have the confidence in the reliability and compliance of the system by providing the following:

  • Functional Requirements Specifications
  • Operational (OQ) and Installation (IQ) Qualification
  • Trace Matrix
  • Validation Summary Report

Slingshot Pharma's validation process will guide a company's validation team through a successful and compliant implementation.

3. Comprehensive Supply Chain Management

A streamlined supply chain is vital for maintaining product quality and regulatory compliance. Slingshot Pharma’s ERP software enhances supply chain visibility by providing:
