ICON Central Laboratories expands iBEM 2008 installation to India
ICON Central Laboratories, headquartered in New York with other locations in India, Ireland and Singapore, chose BarControl's iBEM 2008 to meet their Supply Chain software requirements.
Since the installation of iBEM at their Long Island, New York location, ICON has expanded the installation of iBEM to their Bangalore, India location. With the manufacturing of many pharmaceutical
and related products in India, it only made sense to handle as much of the order processing of testing kits and supplies from a location near the manufacturing source.
With iBEM both the U.S. and India sites have total visibility to inventory levels at either location, and while the processes remain uniform, the operations run independently of each other. Challenges included such tasks as requisitions and purchasing being performed in the local currency while current inventory stock valuations are maintained in U.S. currency.Inventory exchange orders among the two facilities were completed easily through iBEM.
