The Searle Company Limited, subsidiary of IBL Group, is listed as one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Pakistan. Having two state of the art, fully equipped manufacturing facilities in Karachi, and Lahore, Searle understands how important it is to have fully streamlined business processes. The company, investing more and more on its manufacturing facilities, was in dire need of a solution, one that would integrate their processes seamlessly and provide them an in-depth reporting to complement their decision making in real-time for their future endeavors.
