The Challenge
Zeus Scientific makes medical diagnostic test kits, including tests for Lyme disease, and sells them mainly to distributors and labs in the U.S. and abroad.
As a medical company, Zeus is regulated by the FDA and has specific data requirements. Orders were entered, allocated and picked by hand, so growth meant adding people.
The Solution
Zeus chose SAP Business One with Third Wave. Third Wave:
- Set up SAP Business One to collect the data Zeus provides to the FDA
- Automated order entry, order allocation and pick lists
- Put Versago on the production floor to track performance, quality, issues and costs in real time
- Added ShipEasy from the start for FedEx labels, so the right product is picked, packed and shipped
The Results
- Data for the FDA is collected in one place and ready when needed
- The team spends more time analyzing data than entering it
- Zeus has grown without adding much headcount
- Orders ship accurately and more efficiently
With new sales channels planned, Zeus’s leaders are confident the system will handle what comes next.
