| Concerto | Legacy | Concerto CAFM | Enterprise Asset Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2002 | 2002 |
In 2002 Otc Direct implemented Concerto CAFM as its Enterprise Asset Management solution to centralize control of physical assets and maintenance workflows. The deployment targeted the company headquarters in the United Kingdom and was sized for a 60 person life sciences wholesaler, focusing on day to day facilities and maintenance operations alongside finance-facing asset accounting.
Concerto CAFM was configured to deliver core asset register capabilities, preventive maintenance scheduling, work order management, space and contract records, and inventory tracking for spare parts. Configuration emphasized role based access for facilities users and finance staff, and standard functional workflows for work order intake, scheduling, completion reporting, and asset lifecycle tracking to support operational continuity.
Integrations were implemented with the organization s financial and data tools as part of the rollout, specifically linking Concerto CAFM to MFG Pro Accounts, Leonardo, and an internal Access database to synchronize asset cost data, purchase and maintenance transactions, and vendor records. These integrations enabled reconciliation of asset expenditures with existing accounting ledgers and supported daily cash allocation and VAT related recordkeeping performed by finance personnel.
Governance and process changes established clear responsibilities for maintenance planning and accounting reconciliation, with formalized procedures for work order authorization, asset tagging, and periodic trial balance reconciliation linked to asset ledgers. The implementation positioned Otc Direct to operate Concerto CAFM as the primary Enterprise Asset Management system, aligning facilities, maintenance, and finance functions around shared asset and maintenance data.

| Microsoft | Legacy | Microsoft Power BI | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018, Otc Direct implemented Microsoft Power BI to centralize reporting and visualization across the business, addressing its Analytics and BI requirements for a regulated life sciences distribution operation. The deployment targeted supply chain, category management, finance, operations, regulatory and sales teams to provide a single pane of glass for performance monitoring and decision support.
The Microsoft Power BI implementation emphasized a governed semantic layer and role-based dashboards, delivering interactive KPI tracking, ad-hoc report authoring, calculated measures and scheduled report delivery. Functional modules included inventory and demand analytics, category performance dashboards, commercial revenue and margin views, and operational exception reporting aligned to established KPI definitions.
Data consolidation used extracts from transactional and inventory systems, Excel-based forecasts and the broader Microsoft data platform to produce shared datasets, with refresh orchestration and incremental load patterns for operational timeliness. The architecture centered on Power BI service workspaces to separate operational reporting from executive analytics, and leveraged dataset reuse to ensure consistency across reports.
Operational rollout focused on supply chain and category management users first, then extended to finance and commercial teams, with role-level access controls, dataset governance and a report catalog to manage report lifecycle. Governance activities included workspace provisioning standards, data quality gates and end user training mapped to the companys existing KPI framework to standardize Analytics and BI consumption.

In 2014, Otc Direct implemented Ideagen Q-Pulse as its Quality Management application. The Ideagen Q-Pulse deployment was scoped to support supply chain, regulatory, operations, finance and logistics functions across product categories including over-the-counter medicine, surgical, nutritional, controlled drugs, fridge and cytotoxic products.
Configuration emphasized core Quality Management capabilities such as document control, audit management, nonconformance and corrective action workflows, training records and supplier quality oversight. Ideagen Q-Pulse was provisioned to capture standard operating procedures, audit checklists and training completions to improve procedural consistency for a 60 person organization managing approximately 1,050 product lines and a functional annual revenue of £250 million within the supply chain. Automation focused on structured audit scheduling, CAPA assignment and training expiry alerts to align operational quality controls with regulated product handling.
Q-Pulse was operated alongside MarJ, Leonardo, MFG-Pro and Konetic for forecasting, stock control, reporting and HR recordkeeping, creating a coordinated application set to support quality and operational data flows. Governance and rollout was coordinated with supply chain leadership, regulatory and finance stakeholders, and included documented training modules and KPI definitions developed by the team, used in formal quarterly stock provision presentations to the Head of Category. The implementation supported procedural standardization, training delivery and KPI instrumentation as described in the organization achievements.
