Frequently Asked Questions
  • What makes Tulip a leading MES solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers?

    Tulip is recognized by Gartner, Forrester, and customers as a top MES for regulated industries, with consistent leadership rankings on G2 for ease of use, speed to value, and customer satisfaction. Unlike traditional monolithic systems, Tulip’s composable MES enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to digitize electronic batch records, logbooks, weigh and dispense, and sampling with apps that are simple to validate and adapt.

    Built with GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 in mind, Tulip includes audit trails, electronic signatures, access controls, and integrations with ERP, QMS, and LIMS. This combination of agility, compliance, and usability helps manufacturers reduce release delays, stay inspection-ready, and maintain end-to-end traceability without the disruption of legacy MES deployments.

  • How does an MES help manufacturers digitize batch records?

    Manufacturing execution systems help manufacturers digitize batch records by automating data collection electronically instead of on paper. These systems help enforce steps, captures what happens during production, and keeps a record you can trace back. That makes it easier to catch issues early, finish reviews faster, and stay compliant.

    The problem is, most MES systems are hard to change. Tulip is built differently. It gives teams the tools to design their own workflows, pull data from equipment, and see what’s happening on the line as it happens. That kind of flexibility matters when processes change often or the rules keep shifting.

  • Does Tulip’s MES support GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance?

    Yes. Tulip’s platform is validation-ready and supports GxP-regulated environments. It includes audit trails, electronic signatures, access control, and secure data handling to meet 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 compliance requirements out of the box.

  • How quickly can a pharma company implement a composable MES?

    Traditional MES deployments can take years. Tulip’s pharma MES can be implemented in as little as 90 days with validated apps for logbooks, weigh & dispense, sampling, packaging, and eBR review — allowing manufacturers to see ROI in months, not years.

  • Can pharma manufacturers integrate MES with existing QMS, LIMS, and ERP systems?

    Yes. Tulip’s open API and connectors make it easy to integrate MES apps with existing QMS, LIMS, ERP, historians, and lab equipment. This ensures end-to-end traceability and eliminates data silos across pharmaceutical operations.
