Serialization

Sharp strives to be the best possible packaging contractor they can be. In order to ensure top quality and safety they take advantage of serialization in order to track and trace the dosage of products going out in the marketplace. This documentation trail is critical, and it has to be perfect. Utilizing serialization ensures the quality that their customers depend on.

Importance of Cloud ERP

By utilizing their ERP solution in the cloud, Sharp was able to align their organization’s business practices, quality and financial systems quickly and readily all under the same ERP system.
