Clinical trial supply digital twin

Clinical trial supply digital twin

A virtual replica of your supply chain. Simulate, analyze, and optimize decisions before acting in the real world. For both patient- and supply-friendly trial designs.

Your challenges, our focus

In clinical trials, every protocol design choice, country selected, RTSM system setup, … shapes the ability to deliver drug to patients. Yet, clinical supply teams are often brought in too late and forced to react, rather than influence critical design choices. Without early visibility, structured communication, and data to guide decisions, inefficiencies grow and risks escalate.

Reactive planning

Making it work with late or limited input and incomplete data is your norm. You need early involvement so that trial design becomes a collaboration, not a constraint.

Magnifying Glass
Information gaps

Data impacting the supply chain (protocol, country list, recruitment timelines, …) is scattered, unstructured, or delayed. You need centralized, timely access to critical information for supply chain readiness.

Misaligned goals

Decisions are made for speed or science, without a full understanding their impact on supply chain feasibility or budget. You need to demonstrate the holistic impact of design choices.

Gut-feeling decisions

Critical supply chain strategies are often based on intuition or habit. You need data-driven insights to make optimal choices.

communication
Siloed communication

ClinOps and supply chain don’t speak the same language. You need decisions to happen together, not in parallel.

Proactivity

Benefit from a digital twin to model the impact of decisions before they’re made. Move upstream and shape trial designs instead of chasing them.

<strong>Proactivity</strong>

Balanced performance

Quantify the impact of choices (protocol design, network, …) on feasibility, timelines, risk, drug waste, and cost, and choose the most efficient path forward.

<strong>Balanced performance</strong>

Alignment

Bridge the gap. Ensure supply chain and clinical teams work in sync from day one. Improve communication, validate feasibility early, and collaborate around shared KPIs.

<strong>Alignment</strong>

Expert guidance

Work with experts who bring best practices, fresh perspectives, and proven methods to help your team evolve and break down silos.
