How MyAmici Streamlined Procurement and Controls for a Growing Contract Testing Organisation

Background

 

MyAmici first started working with this contract testing and development organization in 2013, when it had grown steadily to 25 employees and was entering a period of rapid growth. A dramatic increase in secured business presented the need for an immediate expansion into additional laboratory space. Although the new laboratories were on the same site, they were in a different building.

 

Senior management were, therefore, concerned about cost implications, logistical confusion and maintenance of regulatory controls.

 

Challenges

 

A very practical challenge concerned deliveries, with the potential for multiple people receiving several deliveries at the wrong location. Clearly satisfactory control of paperwork and maintenance of sample storage requirements were critical. Relationships with customers demanded an ability to demonstrate accurate, secure systems.

 

The Solution

 

Following a demo of the MyAmici platform, our client was confident that Amici could provide the solution. Initially, we implemented our full ePO-to-Pay suite which gave them;

 

  • Immediate access to our negotiated prices, fully-managed orders and paperless three-way matching of invoices with our core Purchasing module.
  • Consolidated deliveries which saved on shipping costs with our Consolidation module.
  • Visibility of all spend with our Self-Serve module.

 

In 2015, our client added the Stock Controls module to assist with managing optimum stock levels together with health and safety controls.

 

Our Asset and Inventory modules were added in 2016 and our client now has visibility of all assets and the ability to track live inventory across all its UK sites.

 

At that time, the company also established a US subsidiary in Boston and the Amici portfolio of products and services were implemented to allow integration with the UK parent company.
