How Integrated Accounting Saved a Pharmaceutical Business from Potential Losses

A growing pharmaceutical business, let's call it XYZ, recently implemented Juleb, to streamline operations. Although the finance and accounting teams were experienced, they wanted to enhance their efficiency with real-time reporting, automated insights, and seamless data integration.

When the operations launched a new promotion, it quickly became clear that something wasn’t right for the finance team with real-time figures. The integrated accounting system flagged a surge in sales driven by the promotion, but it also revealed a significant drop in profit margins. Real-time insights from the system showed higher-than-expected transaction volumes and fast-depleting inventory, highlighting the risks of the high giveaway ratio.

Within minutes, the finance team spotted the issue before it spiraled out of control. With the system’s real-time data, they quickly realized that unless the promotion terms were adjusted, they would soon face negative profit sales.

Thanks to Juleb’s integrated accounting, they were able to raise the alarm and collaborate with the operations team to adjust the promotion, preventing potential losses.
