It also supports reports and queries.
POMS CMS provides complete traceability through all stages of clinical supplies processes, from raw materials to shipment to the investigator and returns.
Inventory management and recipe-based interactive electronic batch record capabilities reduce compliance costs and increase material supply efficiency for increasingly complex and frequently changing clinical trials.
