TFF Expedites Product Lifecycle Management With Selerant's
Web-Based Solution DevEX(R)
NEW YORK, April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Selerant announces its role in
transforming processes, workflows, and product lifecycle management at
Technology Flavors & Fragrance, Inc. .
"What was once a small private company is now an ever-growing mid-sized public
corporation with operations worldwide," states Philip Rosner, Chairman and CEO
of TFF. "Together with our ideas and capabilities, there leaves no room for
doubt that TFF stands as a model for true value in serving our clients' needs."
These capabilities now extend beyond their past methodologies to an entirely new
set of processes, structure, and collaboration.
"One of the most significant reasons for the purchase was to advance beyond our
current achievements." Rosner continues, "Selerant provided a comprehensive
solution with the flexibility, configurations, and the expertise we needed to
truly succeed."
As a Flavor and Fragrance industry leader, success can be defined by customer
satisfaction. The critical aspects can be easily determined by three main
goals:
* Reduce the lifecycle of a sample request
* Ensure regulatory compliance
* Increase team collaboration and communication
TFF demanded a superior product development solution, and DevEX provides more
than the typical system. The processes included specifically within the sales
brief and sample suite as throughout other modules work coherently to create a
unique solution, featuring:
* Email notifications and automated workflow
* Interactive customer feedback on samples
* Knowledge base search of past formulas
"Since our customers include Fortune 500 companies, we must not just respond,
but take it to a level that would be considered to be proactive." Rosner goes on
to say, "We needed a tool that equipped our team members with the tools they
needed to dramatically reduce the time from initial sample request to sample
approval."
Answering the second objective, TFF developers can expedite product development
while ensuring regulatory compliance with DevEX's Formulation Development and
Regulatory Modules. Used in conjunction, developers can instantly receive
regulatory alerts as they enter each formula's ingredients into DevEX.
"Safety and quality simply cannot be overstated. Our reputation depends upon
it." Rosner declares, "As one of the first developers of regulatory software,
Selerant certainly has both the understanding and the technology to ensure each
product lives up to our strict standards."
Finally, DevEX's web-based platform and unique communication tools unite team
members across the hall as well as around the world with email notifications,
distribution logs, document libraries, forum history, and instant messaging.
"Corporate communication may have once seemed an oxymoron. We missed the link
that directly connected each team member to the vital project information."
Rosner says, "Now, DevEX provides a comprehensive set of tools, including
archives for easy retrieval."
TFF's purchase included several of the integral modules and features recommended
for the Food and Flavors industry.
"We feel confident in our decision and anticipate a dramatic return on
investment from reduced product lifecycles, improved communication, and better
managed resources." Rosner concludes, "Simply put, Selerant answered all of our
questions with innovative solutions, proven methodology, advanced technology,
and superior service. With Selerant's level of partnership, our customers and
shareholders will most certainly see the rewards in quality, safety, and
delivery."
