Pharmaceutical / Bio
Segment Overview and Key Considerations
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology leaders manage some of the most complex businesses in industry. Long and expensive R&D programs produce drug products that have a relatively short lifespan to recoup both the original investment as well as generate profits to fuel new growth. Each drug produced is impacted by a wide range of value chain influences that ultimately determine its revenue and profitability, from trade agreements and channel alliances to product security threats and regulatory requirements. Managing your business effectively requires clear visibility into and control of these products as they are distributed to the ultimate patient. Secure and reliable data, integrated decision-making platforms, and extensive interconnections with your trading partners are all necessary components, not nice-to-haves, in this environment.
SupplyScape's application solutions for product security and trade financials deliver patient safety and revenue maximization capabilities to help manage your business through even the most challenging value chain environments by:
- Improving patient safety and product integrity for the diverse product lines that you produce
- Protecting your revenue from leakage due to drug counterfeiting, theft, and diversion
- Uncovering strategic value from potentially costly RFID and serialization programs
- Extending product visibility and control via network authentication services that leverage existing investments in enterprise platforms such as SAP and Oracle
- Improving access to reliable product movement and transaction data for internal business analysis and decision-making
- Building efficient and secure trading partner networks to maximize the availability of your products
- Maintaining secure regulatory compliance with the increasing FDA, state and global requirements
