How can an Advanced Planning System (APS) help pharmaceutical wholesalers comply with Public Service Obligations?

A pharmaceutical-specific APS supports Public Service Obligations in three key ways. First, it continuously monitors inventory coverage against regulatory thresholds and alerts planners before compliance is at risk, giving teams time to act proactively rather than reactively. Second, it automates the allocation of manufacturer quotas across warehouses using configurable business rules, reducing a process that often takes several hours to just a few minutes. Finally, it provides a complete audit trail of purchasing decisions, inventory movements and supplier deliveries, making it possible to produce the documentation required during regulatory inspections without manual reconstruction.
