Case Study: Ferring achieves better lab planning and on-time testing with Bluecrux’s Binocs

Ferring boosts batch release planning adherence from 8% to 50% with Bluecrux

Ferring, a multinational biopharma company, faced significant challenges in managing its multi-site quality control labs. The company relied on a complex and inefficient system of Excel files and weekly meetings, which led to a lack of transparency in workload status, training, and equipment scheduling. To address these issues, Ferring engaged the vendor Bluecrux to implement its Binocs lab management solution.

Bluecrux implemented its Binocs platform across multiple Ferring lab sites, starting with a pilot in Germany. The solution provided enhanced visibility into analysis duration and service status, along with more structured equipment planning. The implementation by Bluecrux delivered substantial results, including an increase in batch release planning adherence from 8% to 50% and an improvement in tests completed on time from 44% to 77%.
