// IMPLEMENTATION
The part everyone fears, made transparent.
The biggest risk in an ERP decision isn't the software, it's the implementation. So here's exactly how ours works: the phases, what we do, what you do, and how long it takes. Measured in months, not fiscal years.
“Best ERP for pharma development, manufacturing, and packaging on the market — and we’ve seen them all.”
We've done this on a live, regulated operation.
We migrated Contract Pharmacal Corp, an FDA-inspected contract manufacturer, off a legacy ERP (Deacom) and onto Aurantium, including full data migration, validation, and a parallel run before go-live. They run real production on Aurantium today. This isn't a hypothetical methodology; it's the process we just executed.
Before
Their legacy ERP
- Slow day to day
- Inflexible — even modest modifications meant costly workarounds
- Support that didn't show up when it mattered
After · live on Aurantium
What changed
- Faster across the board
- More intuitive for the team
- Built around how CPC actually works
- Complete control of inventory and real transparency into the operation
// WHAT TO EXPECT
Six phases, no surprises.
Every implementation follows the same path. You always know what stage you're in, what's next, and what's expected of your team.
1 · Discovery
We map your products, formulas, processes, and the way your floor actually runs, then scope the project and pricing up front, in writing.
2 · Data migration
Items, lots, formulas, customers, vendors, and open balances move from your legacy system into Aurantium, with reconciliation you can tie out.
3 · Configuration & validation
We configure workflows, roles, and forms to your process and support your IQ, OQ, and PQ so the system is qualified, not just installed.
4 · Parallel run
Run Aurantium alongside your current system on real work, so you trust the numbers before anything is switched off.
5 · Go-live
A planned cutover with us alongside you, not a vendor that disappears the week production depends on it.
6 · Support
You reach the people who build the product, not a ticket queue or a reseller, with the product improving at the pace of a team that ships.
How long it takes.
Implementation timelines are scoped during discovery and stated up front, before you commit. They're driven by the complexity of your operation, the state of your existing data, and your validation requirements, not by an open-ended consulting meter. Most implementations are measured in months, not fiscal years.
“Implementation was on schedule. All the testing and training before go-live
paid off — the transition was as smooth as any ERP any of us have seen or heard
about. The migration was tested thoroughly and went well.”

What we'll need from you.
- A point person who knows how your operation actually runs, day to day.
- Access to your current data, so we can migrate and reconcile it accurately.
- Time from a few key users for configuration review and the parallel run.
- Your validation requirements, so we can support IQ, OQ, and PQ to your standard.
