Life Sciences
Pharmaceutical, biotech, medical-device, and diagnostics companies operate under FDA, EMA, and global regulatory frameworks that demand lot and serial traceability, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic records and signatures, GMP-aligned quality management, and audit-ready financial controls. Pre-revenue biotechs need grant accounting and investor-grade reporting; commercial pharma needs serialization and DSCSA-aligned supply-chain visibility. NetSuite supports the full arc — from R&D through commercialization — as a scalable ERP extended by industry-specific SuiteApps and validated configuration.
How Novelance Approaches NetSuite for Life Sciences
We design implementations around the regulatory lifecycle. For pre-clinical and clinical-stage companies, we focus on grant accounting, contract-expense accrual, lab procurement, and investor-grade financials.
For commercial-stage companies, we add full lot and serial traceability, GMP-aligned quality workflows, 3PL integration to specialty distributors, and regulatory reporting.
We build role-based access aligned to GxP segregation of duties, and where 21 CFR Part 11 applies, we configure electronic signatures, audit trails, and access controls — validated to stand up to inspection.
