A 4-step process

1. Plan

Validate an ideal supply chain plan that minimizes both costs and the risk of shortage.

We help you:

  • Forecast demand precisely.
  • Plan for production, sourcing, packaging, allocation, and distribution of treatments and ancillary supplies.
  • Configure IRT settings for seamless optimized distribution.
  • Build resilience into supply chain plans through robust scenario analysis.
<strong>1. Plan</strong>

2. Monitor

Once your trial is ongoing, gain access to live monitoring of your supply chain.

This allows you to:

  • Compare assumptions and planning to real-time events (e.g. IRT data).
  • Identify outliers and risks as they emerge.
  • Avoid shortages proactively.
<strong>2. Monitor</strong>

3. Adapt

Through machine learning, we use real-time data and consider trial updates, like amendments or new sites, to continuously optimize your supply chain.

This enables you to:

  • Adapt assumptions.
  • Refine patient demand.
  • Update the supply plan efficiently.
<strong>3. Adapt</strong>

4. Evaluate

Throughout the trial, we track relevant KPIs and report on forecast accuracy.

This ensures your supply chain performance is always kept to high standards.
