Case Study: a world’s fastest-growing pharmaceutical company streamlines Empower custom fields and reporting with Astrix

One of the World’s Fastest-growing Pharmaceutical Companies cuts report generation by over 90% with Astrix

A fast-growing global pharmaceutical company faced significant operational inefficiencies and data integrity risks in its laboratories due to its use of unvalidated, non-standardized custom calculations and an excessive number of reports within the Waters Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS). These issues made processes prone to human error and consumed considerable user time. Astrix was engaged to assist with the development and validation of these custom fields and reports.

Astrix developed a streamlined framework, creating 23 reusable custom fields and 10 comprehensive "all-in-one" reports. They also provided a full validation strategy, including the execution of test scripts and the creation of new standard operating procedures. The results delivered by Astrix reduced the number of required reports by over 90%, dramatically cut validation time for future methods, and minimized user-dependent errors, leaving the customer with a more accurate, efficient, and traceable process.
