Case Study: Sage ERP X3 Helps Aceto Corporation Manage Complicated Compliance Regulations

Publicly-traded Aceto Corporation is a global leader in the importing and distribution of over 1,000 chemically-derived pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals and agrochemicals used principally as raw materials in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, color, surface coating/ink and general chemical consuming industries. The company's business is organized along product lines into three segments – Health Sciences, Chemicals & Colorants and Crop Protection.

Aceto had been operating on a legacy system that was antiquated and lacked integration. Already subject to a myriad of U.S. government regulations, including MSDS requirements for the handling of hazardous materials and intense scrutiny by the FDA, the company faced new demands stemming from the bioterrorism Act and the Customs Trade-Partnership Against Terrorism (CT-PAT) program as well as the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
