I would say, number one, it helps to maintain documentation and make sure. So if there's any changes that happen, it's documented and visible to all users.



00:12 - 00:21
From my perspective, it's helped with making sure that the master formula that is created matches what's being used by the contract manufacturer.



00:21 - 00:34
And then I would say it helps with, especially from quality related perspective, making sure that the processes are being executed and maintained over the years.



00:34 - 00:55
With Unifize, It's helped with consolidating documentation review. So, for example, if we approved a vitamin D, someone else I work with can go into the program see it's already reviewed. They don't need to re-review the documentation, find out about costing.



00:55 - 01:04
It's all documented. Any changes are made. It's you know, you can see it right there. So it has really helped to streamline the ingredient review process.



01:04 - 01:08
It's helped with the creation of master formulas.



01:08 - 01:28
If we didn't have Unifize it would create a disaster. We would be back to square one with finding different ingredients, reviewing the documentation, figuring out how ingredients are different or similar to each other, We would have to obtain all of that information, again.



01:28 - 01:37
I can't imagine. I think it would be catastrophic. We would have to start from zero with so many different things.

But what we've known from what I experience was, is we were able to get there with the system. We still there with the system. The system has what is needed to provide us what we're looking for, because every company, admittedly, is trying to get compliant. If we educate people, if we get people the education that they need and to get over the fear factor, I think 90% of those things can be resolved because most people will go to what they're most familiar with.What I worked with from a different company, but they're not willing to sit down and look at what the demographics are saying. People are into social media now. People are moving fast into fast paced world. But technologies are still antiquated. So there's a disconnect here, right? So while we're moving at a fast pace at home with dragging at work, so why can't we continue that speed while we at work?If your supplier has issues and you're not informed on time, you want to have an alternate supplier in place. If your suppliers are not qualified, you may not know that that needs to happen. And so when you have an integrated system that speaks to itself and is giving you all this data, you literally have the pulse of the organization in your hands as an executive at a money bound access.
