Company size: approx. 700 employees

Branch: Chemistry, pharmaceuticals

Country: Germany (Ulm)

Challenge: electronic strorage of all required documents of a batch documentation, and implementation of a decentralised scanner solution

Used modules for the realisation of the solution: biz²Scanner

Concerning departments: Production

Project description: To be able to store all required paper documents of a batch documentation without a manual paper storage or a completeness check, a decentralised scanner solution should be implemented. To realise that, Ratiopharm chose inPuncto as their IT partner. The SAP-integrated scanner solution biz²Scanner now works as a registration component of incoming paper receipt. The lean add-on offers a direct and quick possibility to register documents with a simple scanner. With the usage of the standard TWAIN interface, a support for the smallest device as well as for high end products can be offered. The SAP-integrated scanner solution by inPuncto is being used for scanning production documents, sending them to a PDF/A converter and for importing them into the electronic batch protocol.

Usage: Space gain due to no manual paper storage, time gain due to no manual completeness check, electronic batch protocol, higher transparency
