Ibnsina Pharma selects Infor’s solutions to streamline business operations

Ibnsina Pharma, a major healthcare solutions provider in the region, has been growing steadily through supply chain services, importation, and distribution of health care products in the private and government sectors.

Ibnsina Pharma chose Infor’s industry-specific solutions to help streamline its business operations across the organization; generate strong financial reports; achieve operational efficiency; integrate with other technologies in the supply chain and implement best practices for better control of processes. It ultimately plans to migrate the application to the cloud.

Ibnsina Pharma IT Director Amro Khorshid said: “In recent years, technology has revolutionized the healthcare industry, and by default the pharmaceuticals industry.

“Technology-enabled solutions such as trackers, biosensors, and wearables are the way of the future and the pharmaceutical industry will need to embrace digital transformation to support all new updates associated with the rising population and the emergence of new chronic diseases.

“We were in the market for an industry-specific solution that would provide an end-to-end integrated solution to help enable operational efficiency and productivity across our operations.

“We chose Infor due to the strength and depth of the industry expertise amongst their consultants and the overall value proposition offered by the team.”

From a supply chain perspective, Ibnsina Pharma expects to produce more robust and consistent monthly sales forecasting and replenishment planning cycle with Infor’s warehouse management system.

Additionally, Ibnsina Pharma will have greater visibility and speed of information sharing across all its supply chains, with greater collaboration between its customers and suppliers and allowing for better decision-making throughout the overall supply chain. Overall, Ibnsina Pharma expects to see an improvement in data processing for more effective results.

Infor India, Middle East and Africa general manager Jonathan Wood said: “Ibnsina Pharma is Infor’s first pharmaceutical customer in the Middle East. We are delighted to work with the team and enrich the experiences of its customers and employees.”

Ibnsina Pharma expects to benefit from Infor d/EPM’s modern intelligent business and financial performance management capabilities which will help drive its overall business performance with more agility.

With greater business insights from Infor d/EPM, Ibnsina Pharma will be able to make more informed decisions across its organization. Infor d/EPM will enable the company to modernize data processing and enrich decision-making with advanced analytics and planning capabilities, self-service dashboards, and social collaboration.
