Introduction

Scaling control across Europe

Operating in 21 European countries across 11 product categories, including licensed products, PXG pharma manages a complex and highly regulated packaging environment. As the portfolio expanded, the organization required a structured and scalable approach to artwork approvals, ensuring consistency, transparency, and regulatory control across markets.

The Challenge

From fragmented systems to compliance risk

Artwork approvals spanned multiple countries, product types, and external partners. Processes were managed across disconnected systems and manual touchpoints, limiting visibility and increasing coordination effort.

In a regulated pharmaceutical landscape, fragmented workflows don’t just slow teams down, they introduce compliance risk. PXG Pharma needed a harmonized framework that would standardize approvals, reduce errors, and create a clear governance structure across Europe.

The Solution

A centralized artwork management framework built on WAVE

PXG Pharma implemented a centralized artwork management platform to streamline the full packaging lifecycle, from content approval through prepress sign-off.

Three structured workflows were introduced and embedded into daily operations as standard operating processes. These workflows established:

• Clear roles and approval responsibilities
• Transparent review and comment tracking
• Defined process steps across markets
• Secure collaboration with external partners

The new framework significantly reduced manual coordination and created a unified, Europe-wide approach to artwork approvals.

The Result

Standardized processes delivering measurable impact

With harmonized standard operation proccess-based workflows in place, PXG Pharma achieved:

• Reduced errors and rework
• Greater visibility and control across stakeholders
• More predictable and efficient approval cycles
• Improved alignment between internal teams and external partners

The impact of these standardized workflows has been so significant that PXG Pharma is now moving forward with the development of a dedicated validated workflow, designed to replicate and formalize the same efficiency, control, and compliance benefits within a fully validated framework.

By transforming fragmented processes into a centralized and standardized system, PXG Pharma has strengthened governance, improved packaging quality, and created a scalable foundation for compliant growth across Europe.
