ERP SOFTWARE SELECTION FOR LIFE SCIENCES
Select ERP that supports compliant growth, regulated inventory, quality, validation, and the operational complexity between science and scale.
Life sciences companies need ERP decisions that account for more than finance and inventory. The right platform must support regulated workflows, traceability, quality, documentation, partner data, and future scale without slowing scientific progress.
John Hannan LLC leads vendor-neutral ERP Software Selection for life sciences organizations that need structure, evidence, and validation awareness built into the decision process. We help translate GxP expectations, Part 11 considerations, quality requirements, inventory controls, LIMS, QMS, EDMS, CRO, CDMO, and 3PL dependencies into selection criteria vendors can prove.
How We Help Life Sciences Teams Select ERP
We work across your software ecosystem including ERP, LIMS, QMS, Manufacturing Execution Software (MES), CRM, and outsourced partners to make sure the platform you pick can be validated and scaled from lab bench to commercial launch.
Turn regulated operations into clear requirements
We work with quality assurance, supply chain, finance, operations, IT, and scientific leaders to define what ERP must support across purchasing, inventory, quality, production, documentation, approvals, traceability, and reporting.
Bring validation thinking into selection early
We help evaluate whether ERP vendors can support audit trails, electronic approvals, role-based controls, testable requirements, and validation-ready implementation planning. The goal is to avoid buying software that later requires expensive remediation.
Connect ERP to the broader life sciences ecosystem
Selection criteria include the surrounding systems and partners that matter, such as LIMS, QMS, EDMS, CROs, CDMOs, 3PLs, and external manufacturing or testing partners. We help determine what belongs in ERP, what remains outside, and how data should flow.
Create a defensible decision path
We structure RFPs, demos, scorecards, total cost comparisons, and implementation assumptions so your team can compare vendors on operational fit, validation readiness, partner strength, and scalability.
