Waypharm selects XFP MES from Elan Software to streamline biotech manufacturing processes and improve efficiency.
Elan Software Systems, a leading provider of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solutions, with a customer portfolio that includes companies such as Baxter, Takeda, sanofi aventis, Rochas and Yves Rocher, announced today that Waypharm, an innovative biotech manufacturer based in France and specialized in anti-cancer therapies, has chosen XFP MES. The MES software suite will help Waypharm to exceed regulatory compliance and to transform its manufacturing operations into a state-of-the-art production site, benefiting from increased efficiency and enhanced quality.
An MES Software to exceed regulatory compliance
Waypharm’s principal concerns were to ensure compliance with worldwide regulations and standards, foster quality across manufacturing processes and provide greater visibility of production.
“The XFP MES software provides both high regulatory compliance and the required cGMP features. We came to a point where we could compete in the global marketplace without improving our manufacturing processes.” explains Eric Morelle, President at Waypharm “We truly believed a MES system was the right solution for the current challenges facing our business, especially regarding compliance and cost reduction. XFP from Elan Software was the best MES package that we surveyed that met all the regulatory requirements and was able to provide a rapid ROI. The Elan Software team’s expertise in our industry was vital. Their experience greatly helped with the software validation aspects.”
An MES software that fits biotech manufacturers
In the blurred biotech lines from product development, through complex batch records, to stable, compliant production, the XFP-MES suite provides modular and flexible solutions that align processes with regulatory compliance, reduce risks and increase visibility, reduce process cycle time and optimize resource use and use validated system tools to keep the complexity inside a solid validation foundation.
“We are delighted to welcome Waypharm as a new XFP user. With complex biological manufacturing processes and controls, biotech manufacturers have unique demands while still facing all the compliance challenges of pharmaceutical companies.” said Jean-Pierre Amadio, general Manager at Elan Software “XFP MES provides an excellent choice: a flexible, pre-validated software solution designed for the Biotech industry.”
