Boehringer chooses NiceLabel’s technology

Boehringer Ingelheim has already introduced a new SAP system across all its sites to streamline the operations. To further improve ERP integration, the company was looking to implement a global labelling system, enabling easier label changes and increasing operational efficiencies.

The pharmaceutical giant decided to use NiceLabel’s Label Management System (LMS) to utilize the full spectrum of its functionality, including the built-in label designer. Moreover, the tool’s document management system enables the company to replace its manual quality control procedures with a fully digitized quality assurance process. It gives the access to security, approval workflows, complete label change and print history as well as integrates with Boehringer Ingelheim’s ERP system, SAP ECC, allowing a centralized way of updating label information.

Thanks to the implementation of LMS, Boehringer can now process label change requests faster than before and save time and resources previously dedicated to manual quality assurance tasks.

‘It’s great to see how Boehringer Ingelheim is really using the full spectrum of our label management system. It has a great track record of selecting best-of-breed IT systems, so we’re pleased that it has selected NiceLabel as its global labelling system-of-choice,’ commented Ken Moir, VP of marketing at NiceLabel.

Initially, Boehringer has implemented LMS at its production sites in Ingelheim, Germany and Sant Cugat, Spain. It plans to expand over time to other sites around the world. The next to be implemented are in Dortmund, Germany and Koropi, Greece with both implementations planned for non-production processes.
