From Sole Proprietorship to Industry Leader
Soham ERP Solutions Private Limited was founded in 1988 by Mr. Suketu A Shah as a sole proprietorship. Initially, the company was developing customized software for users on the Disk Operating System using FoxBase and Clipper. Over time, Soham grew and incorporated a team of ten members from pharmaceutical backgrounds who shared a vision of providing the best and most economical software to the pharmaceutical industry.
Mr. Shah advises aspiring entrepreneurs to maintain their focus on a single endeavour. He believes that spreading oneself too thin across multiple areas or sectors can lead to diluted efforts and diminished chances of success. Instead, he suggests concentrating on one task at a time and devoting 100% of one’s energy to it. Mr. Shah stresses the importance of remaining committed and dedicated to the task at hand until success is achieved, at which point one can move on to the next task with the same level of focus and determination.
Commitment to Meeting and Surpassing Industry Standards
Soham is committed to keeping pace with the Pharma Industry’s rules, regulations, and demands. It places great importance on adhering to industry and company disciplines while working. However, the company has several strategies and techniques in place to surpass these disciplines, including:
- Soham has obtained certification under the 21CFR part 11 certificate, demonstrating the company’s commitment to complying with industry standards.
- The company’s ERP software includes an Audit Trail feature, which has been a part of Soham’s offerings for over a decade and is now mandatory for all ERP-selling companies in India as per government regulations.
- Soham has an in-house Quality Check (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) team that thoroughly tests the functionality of all ERP software before releasing it to the market.
- In addition to meeting existing industry requirements, Soham has kept future industry requirements in mind. The company has already undergone Vendor Assessment, which may become mandatory for all ERP-selling companies in India in the future.
The company takes an innovative approach and anticipates the future requirements of the industry. Soham consults with experts to customize or develop new software for its clients. The company is an integral member of IDMA (Indian Drug Manufacturing Association), GPA (Gujarat Pharmaceutical Association), and FPME (Federation of Pharmaceutical and Allied Products Merchant Exporter). Soham attends all the official meetings and conversations held by these associations to understand the pain areas of the industry and their future plan and expectations of customers. Soham incorporates these inputs into its software’s next version to address their needs better.
Regarding sales techniques, Soham believes that a happy and satisfied customer is the best marketing tool. As per the CEO of the company, Mr. Shah, “Our customers are our brand ambassadors.”
Overcoming Challenges
Like any company in its early stages, Soham faced several challenges. One of the most significant obstacles was that, despite its knowledge of ERP software, the company was unfamiliar with the Pharma Industry and lacked the necessary manpower. However, the company overcame these challenges by first gaining an understanding of the industry, its needs, and the requirements of its customers. Soham began by hiring and building a team that focused on understanding the needs of one client at a time, and then developing ERP solutions that were tailored specifically to the Pharma Industry. The company’s initial goal was to secure four additional customers through the satisfaction of one existing customer. Soham’s primary focus was on ensuring that every customer was 100% satisfied, and that they would happily refer the company to four other clients through word-of-mouth publicity.
All-in-One Solution
Soham offers a range of software products for the Pharma Industry, but the standout solution that has proven to be the most promising for the company is PharmaCloud. This comprehensive software solution encompasses all the necessary aspects for any Pharma manufacturing company. PharmaCloud is available on Oracle Cloud or on premises based software that covers the entire spectrum of operations, from the procurement and receipt of raw materials to the company’s accounting needs. With PharmaCloud, companies can streamline their processes, improve their operational efficiency, and enhance their overall productivity.
Upcoming Product to Make the Pharma Industry Paperless
Soham ERP values keeping up with the market demands and needs, and is constantly striving to enhance its software and services. Presently, the company is occupied with developing a new product, PC-360, which will be integrated with PharmaCloud ERP.
What sets PC-360 apart is its ability to enable the pharmaceutical industry to go paperless. This software comprehensively covers all the necessary functions for pharma manufacturing, thereby reducing their reliance on paper, which in turn helps conserve nature, saves time, storage space, eliminates retrieval issues and the risk of losing important documents, ultimately leading to cost savings.
Approach to Competition and Future Plans
Soham’s guiding principle for outpacing competition in the modern market is Positive Marketing. Rather than engaging in negative marketing tactics aimed at disparaging their competitors, the company believes in promoting the benefits and advantages of their own software. Soham recognizes that negative marketing can often cause more harm than good and that companies should instead focus on highlighting their own strengths and unique selling points. The company places itself in the position of the customer, empathizes with their pain points, and endeavours to address those issues in a constructive manner.
The continuous efforts of Soham ERP are directed towards the advancement of their company. They are currently engaged in various activities aimed at achieving greater success in the future. While already holding a significant market share of ERP software in the Indian pharmaceutical industry, the company is now concentrating on expanding their sales to other countries to boost exports.
