Case Study
CTMC cuts costs and boosts productivity and efficiency by reducing administrative tasks by 70% with BioIT Solutions and their Biotech digital transformation software.
The Challenge
CTMC, based in Houston’s Texas Medical Center, is a co-development accelerator that partners with academic institutions and biotech companies to develop and manufacture innovative cell therapies to treat cancer. The company had a goal to transition away from paper to an entirely digitalized network of systems following their spinoff from MD Anderson Cancer Center.
A key initiative in this effort was overhauling the entirely manual materials management process—covering the receipt, usage, and tracking of materials and supplies—which consumed significant time and resources. To maintain operational efficiency, CTMC required a swift and seamless digital transformation using biotech ERP software.
The Solution
CTMC partnered with BioIT Solutions to implement a tailored Warehouse Management System (WMS). Within weeks, the team defined material specifications and mapped out critical workflows, including quarantine, release, and surgical requisitions. With BioIT’s regulatory expertise, the transition remained smooth and fully compliant. In just five months, the system was fully validated and operational.

Cost Savings and Reduced Waste
Real-time inventory management cut waste in half by flagging expiration dates, prevented shortages by tracking minimum and maximum supply levels, and reduced excess stock of less-utilized materials.
The 1Platform4® Manufacturing customized ERP system has transformed our Materials Management process by eliminating errors, improving accuracy, and accelerating material release. It also enables real-time collaboration and data visibility, allowing for faster, strategic decision-making. A key advantage is that the BioIT team remains readily available to provide ongoing support.
The Benefits
The implementation of BioIT’s WMS brought transformative benefits to CTMC, including:
Productivity
Streamlined workflows reduced manual tasks, allowing staff to focus on high priority activities.
Compliance and Safety
End-to-end tracking of raw materials ensured regulatory compliance, improved traceability, and maintained secure, accurate material records.
Scalability
A flexible system that grows with the company, adapting to evolving operational needs and regulatory requirements.
