In addition to preparing for rapid growth, BioConvergence selected Ross ERP to support one of its main competitive advantages - the ability to give clients complete, real-time visibility into their data via a secure portal. This includes 24/7 visibility into inventory status, lab test results and the environmental conditions where their products are stored.

"With Ross ERP, BioConvergence got everything it needed from one solution," added Brooks. "From inventory control and financials to maintenance, analytics and much more, Ross ERP eliminates the need for disparate systems integration and the litany of challenges when faced with that scenario."

"By utilizing Ross ERP to improve operational efficiencies and visibility into daily operations, technology leaders like BioConvergence are able to take their businesses to the next level," said Michael Webster, director of life sciences for CDC Software. "In contrast to some of the generalized software giants, as a customer-driven company, we've developed Ross ERP based on feedback from our life sciences clients and their unique needs.
