The Challenge
Recipharm operates 20+ GMP-certified manufacturing facilities globally. Each site was operating independently, running parallel development timelines, creating client redundancy costs. When a client needed manufacturing capacity, they’d approach one site without visibility into available capacity at others. Best practices weren’t shared across sites.
Our Solution
We built a unified Salesforce platform connecting all facilities globally. Created a shared project management system showing real-time capacity across all sites. Implemented standardized manufacturing workflows that all facilities follow, while allowing regional customization. Built a knowledge library capturing best practices that any site can implement.
The Results
Time-to-market for new therapies dropped 38% because manufacturing sites can now allocate work globally based on capacity instead of geography. Annual savings of $2.8M from standardized processes eliminating redundancy. Regulatory compliance harmonized across all sites — auditors see consistency globally. Client satisfaction improved because they get faster turnaround and know exactly which facility is handling their product.
Recipharm’s manufacturing network is now operating as one global facility instead of 20 disconnected sites. That coordination saves us time and money, and gives us confidence they can handle our global scale.

FAQ
Your Questions Answered
How do you allocate manufacturing work across sites?
When a project comes in, we assess capacity globally considering facility specialization, existing workload, and proximity to client. Salesforce shows real-time utilization. Work automatically routes to optimal facility. Clients see which site is handling their work.
How do you maintain GMP compliance across different regions?
Compliance frameworks are standardized globally with regional adaptations built in. All sites follow the same audit protocols. Salesforce captures compliance data consistently. Regulators see harmonized processes globally.
What was the biggest challenge in harmonizing operations?
Getting experienced manufacturing leaders to embrace standardized workflows when they’d done things their own way for years. We did this by showing that standardization improved quality and throughput — and we incorporated each site’s improvements into the standard.
How much did process standardization save?
$2.8M annually through reduced redundancy, better capacity utilization, and shared procurement. Some sites were buying the same raw materials at different prices — now we negotiate globally.
