Monday May 26, 2025
Challenges of Regulatory Compliance for Small and Mid-Sized Pharmaceutical Companies
Small and Mid-Sized Pharmaceutical Companies face several challenges when it comes to regulatory compliance compared to large companies. The limited resources, slower adaptation to regulatory changes, and greater financial burden can make it difficult for small and mid-sized companies to navigate the complex compliance landscape. Thus, companies are now leveraging the use of modern small business ERP compliance tools and technology such as SAP Business One.
What is SAP Business One?
SAP Business One was designed for small to medium sized businesses that provides core ERP functionalities like inventory, purchasing, production, and sales. Unlike SAP S4 HANA that has more comprehensive ERP features designed for more complex operations and processes, SAP Business One ERP compliance solutions have easier implementation and interface that is suitable for simpler processes and for companies with consistent and sustainable growth.
To ensure that the system is configured, implemented, and operated in a way that meets both business needs and regulatory requirements, regulatory validation for SAP Business One system is essential.
Key Compliance Benefits of SAP Business One Validation
