The ERP buying process for pharmaceutical distributors is broken.

Generic RFI templates miss critical pharma-specific requirements

Generic distribution templates ignore EPCIS, saleable returns, suspicious order monitoring, and other pharma-specific requirements.

Vendors say “yes” to requirements but leave out critical details.

Every vendor says they support DSCSA. Few tell you whether it's built in, sold as an add-on, or handled by a third party until you're deep into the buying process.

Manufacturing-first ERPs solve the wrong problem

Many pharmaceutical ERPs are built for manufacturers, not distributors, leaving you paying for production functionality your business doesn't need.

Without the right pharma-specific ERP RFI, you end up in one of 3 places:

01

Underbuying

You continue patching disconnected systems.

As a result, your team remains buried in tedious manual processes and paperwork until an audit or recall exposes the gaps.

02

Overbuying 

You get sold a manufacturing-first ERP you can’t realistically implement.

Buying a bloated enterprise solution means long implementation and wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on complex features your team will never use.

03

Wrong fit

You learn what "yes, we offer that" really means after implementation.

Every vendor claims to support DSCSA. But if that support depends on add-ons or third parties, you won’t discover the extra cost and complexity until you’re already committed.
