Pfizer Biotech – Case Study

Pfizer is a research-based, global biopharmaceutical company.

They apply science and global resources to provide treatment for people in order to extend and improve their lives significantly. Their goal is to develop ground-breaking medicine on their mission to be a leading, innovative biopharmaceutical company.

Executing the Demo

It was essential for Pfizer that a good demonstration and intuitive guidance were provided for the E-Val Pro thermocouple system – luckily, they were highly impressed by the service they received.

“It was the whole setup that convinced us after a single week of the two week demo” Verherstraeten said.

Verherstraeten highlighted the role that Ellab’s support and service had played in providing the optimal solution; stating that they immediately felt that there was a willingness to implement and address their needs.

We are very satisfied with the flexibility and support we received from Ellab. The project was changed several times during the entire process, but we never experienced any issues.

“We Were Blown Away by the Possibilities”

Stijn Verherstraeten also expressed what he felt was the main advantage of working with Ellab systems – namely, the quick reporting in the ValSuite® Pro software, which allowed him to submit the necessary information in less then half an hour. This was a major advantage when compared to his old method of having to manually process the data by spending several hours working in Excel. His wish to bring data integrity to the highest level was also fulfilled with the use of ValSuite and its protected database.

“After the demo, we were blown away by the possibilities of the software and the user-friendliness of the hardware” Verherstraeten said.

You Really get the ‘Customer is King’ Feeling

All in all, Pfizer were very satisfied with the flexibility and support from Ellab, never experiencing any discussions or delay in regard to their orders and quotations according to Stijn Verherstraeten. Their new and improved setup will surely help them continue their processes smoothly, and ensure that their medicine, vaccines and healthcare products remain perfectly safe for use.

“Ellab Benelux has always been available for support and have taken an interest in our challenges. I have never felt that I was doing business, but rather that I was sparring with trustworthy validation experts” Verherstraeten stated. “You really get the ‘customer is King’ feeling.”

Most important of all to Pfizer was the support. The pharmaceutical company received a 2-week demo with 2-3 Ellab employees assisting them in the beginning, allowing them to properly test the equipment’s capabilities. The flexibility and accessibility provided by Ellab Benelux allowed Pfizer to steadily ease into their new system.
