Case Study: Mundipharma achieves unified, cleansed product data and improved supply chain efficiency with Semarchy

Mundipharma - Customer Case Study

Mundipharma, a network of over 60 independent associated pharmaceutical companies, faced significant "dirty" and inconsistent product data across multiple systems (Salesforce.com, SAP, Oracle, JD Edwards, numerous SQL databases and REST APIs), which hindered supply chain efficiency and left finance and regulatory teams without a reliable enterprise view. To solve this, Mundipharma selected Semarchy and its agile MDM platform (Semarchy Convergence) after a targeted Proof of Value demonstrated rapid results.

Semarchy deployed an enterprise-grade MDM solution that cleansed, standardized and integrated product data from six sources—producing in one week what manual reconciliation had taken three months—and went into broader deployment beginning July 2015 with Supply Chain and Research pilots. As a result, Mundipharma gained a single product reference, reduced transaction error rates, automated reporting that saves several days per month, improved planning and forecasting, and a supported path to IDMP regulatory compliance; Semarchy’s fast, integrative approach delivered these measurable business benefits with a small internal team and Entity as implementation partner.
