QPharma’s Implementation Methodology Streamlines Transition Process

A pharma manufacturer with a mature product pipeline faced challenges with their existing vendor for sample management, necessitating a smooth, efficient, and quick transition to a new service provider.

• Large number of representatives with sample variances
• Compliance alerts and guidance not shared
• Technology was unreliable and difficult to use
• Enhancements were expensive and took too long to implement
• Increased costs each year, however scope remained the same
• Inability to be agile to address new strategies or commercial direction

sample management without causing disruptions in their operations or compliance issues.
