About

The Client is an IT company specializing in software development and IT services, with 10,000+ employees and a turnover exceeding 1 billion.

Challenge

The Customer needed a centralized solution to cover generic and non-generic short-living chemotherapy drugs and TPN production (such as cyclophosphamide, 5-FU, cisplatin and more), stock control, client information and financial transactions (direct sales). This solution was to be used not only at the organization, but also at its medical customers’ facilities.

The previous Customer’s system was outdated, unreliable and costly to maintain. It included two separate ‘dispensing pharmacy’ and ‘total parenteral nutrition’ modules, which were to be supported and updated manually. Besides, this system was non-scalable, which impeded the Customer’s further business growth. The ordering process was carried out via such outdated media as fax and phone. Moreover, the solution was not in compliance with the newest GAMP4 standards and requirements.

Solution

The Customer chose a .NET platform for implementation of the new integrated system. The server application and clients interact via .NET web-services. The solution consists of the following modules:

Results

VolgoTechnologies delivered a GAMP4-compliant full-cycle solution to automate generic and non-generic short-living chemotherapy drugs and TPN order and manufacturing for better chronic disease management. The solution includes data maintenance, production, stock control, invoicing, reporting and security module. The client-server architecture was applied to allow hospitals and other clinical clients to request medicines from the factory closest to their location using the client application.
