Shanghai Tengrui Pharmaceutical Implements Traceability Management System

I. Shanghai Tengrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.: A Quality Pioneer in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Shanghai Tengrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Tengrui Pharmaceutical") is a well-known domestic pharmaceutical enterprise, specializing in the research and development (R&D), production, and sales of chemical drugs, biological products, and traditional Chinese medicines. Relying on its outstanding product quality and strict quality management system, Tengrui Pharmaceutical has won wide recognition in both domestic and international markets. The company takes "Quality First, Innovation-Driven, Service-Oriented" as its core values and is committed to enhancing its core competitiveness through technological innovation and management optimization.

However, with the continuous expansion of the enterprise scale and the intensification of market competition, the traditional quality management model has gradually exposed many problems. Quality traceability relied on paper-based records, which were not only prone to errors but also difficult to retrieve and analyze quickly. In the event of quality issues, the traceability process was cumbersome and time-consuming, seriously affecting the enterprise’s market response speed and customer satisfaction. To achieve the digital upgrading of quality control, improve production efficiency and quality management standards, Tengrui Pharmaceutical decided to introduce the advanced Xingdi Traceability Management System, initiating its journey of digital transformation in quality control.

II. Urgent Need for Digital Transformation of Quality Traceability

Under the traditional quality management model, Tengrui Pharmaceutical faced numerous challenges. Quality records depended on manual paper-based documentation, which was not only susceptible to human errors but also hard to retrieve and analyze rapidly. The inconsistency between quality data and information from departments such as production and sales made quality traceability difficult and problem-handling inefficient. Additionally, the low efficiency of quality data statistics and analysis made it hard to provide timely and accurate decision support for the enterprise’s management.

To address these issues, Tengrui Pharmaceutical decided to introduce the Xingdi Traceability System, aiming to improve the efficiency and transparency of quality control through digital means. The Xingdi Traceability System organically integrates the enterprise’s quality control processes, enabling real-time information sharing and collaborative management. Through data collection and analysis, the traceability system can monitor quality status in real time, optimize quality processes, reduce operating costs, and bring comprehensive changes to the enterprise.
