Reduced time to market with audit-proof information
From the beginning, the goal of developing the database was to simplify and speed up the registration process for customers by giving them direct online access. All relevant information is kept up to date and includes a revision date for any changes. Customers can exchange the required data with their teams and the respective authorities. Customer-specific files can also be uploaded. Thus, the database supports customers’ internal documentation, testing, and approval processes with all relevant certificates and test results. In addition, a complete overview of all standard products, including full documentation, is available at any time.
Complete documentation simplifies work for many departments
In addition to reducing time-to-market through thorough documentation, an increasing number of customer departments are taking advantage of the Gerresheimer product database. The R&D department can access information on the dimensions and properties of the packaging solution for their new products. They can also find regulatory and standard drawings, as well as USP (United States Pharmacopeia) test results such as water vapor and light transmission. The quality department can access descriptions of quality control and the most common types of defects, along with their corresponding AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) values. The approval department can view raw material supplier declarations, declarations of compliance, and information on registrations and certifications. The Purchasing Department can identify packaging solutions for new and existing applications for comparison. The production department can use the database to determine the most suitable packaging for their filling line, including packaging and labeling. The sustainability department can use the database to identify the most sustainable packaging solutions for their applications.
