• QAD's experience working with companies similar to SHINE
• QAD's emphasis on partnering with its customers and focusing on continuous improvement

"Implementing the QAD solution provides a foundation that supports SHINE's mission to be the world leader in the safe, clean, affordable production of medical isotopes," said SHINE Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, Aaron Sprang. "We need a solution with strong financials and the ability to scale as we grow. We found the right partner in QAD."

SHINE competes in a highly regulated environment and QAD Cloud ERP helps reduce SHINE's time to validation."

About SHINE Medical Technologies, Inc.
Founded in 2010, SHINE is a development-stage company working toward becoming a manufacturer of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine. The SHINE system uses a patented, proprietary manufacturing process that offers major advantages over existing and proposed production technologies, as it does not require a nuclear reactor, uses less electricity, generates less waste and is compatible with the nation's existing supply chain for molybdenum-99. In 2014, SHINE announced the execution of molybdenum-99 supply agreements with GE Healthcare and Lantheus Medical Imaging. In 2015, with the help of Argonne National Laboratory, GE Healthcare demonstrated SHINE molybdenum-99 can act as a drop-in replacement for reactor-based moly-99.  In 2016, SHINE received regulatory approval to construct its facility from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and signed a moly-99 supply agreement with HTA Co., Ltd., the largest Chinese distributor of radiopharmaceuticals.  Learn more at http://shinemed.com.
