Overview
Developing a Collaborative Pre-Award Dashboard for a Leading Biotech Company.
The biotech company is a leading fully integrated biopharmaceutical solutions organization built to accelerate customer success. They translate unique clinical, medical affairs and commercial insights into outcomes to address modern market realities, working across 110 countries and generated over 5$ billion in revenue.
About the Businesss
In the ever-evolving field of biotechnology, Penthara Technologies played a pivotal role as a strategic ally for a leading US biotech firm grappling with significant obstacles. The company’s outdated and rigid lead/opportunity processing system in place had grown cumbersome and had started producing collaboration and transparency issues with the procedure being followed for processing the leads and opportunities.
The company was on a lookout for a sustainable and concrete solution to tackle the hindered collaboration between different teams and bring in transparency and flexibility to their work.
Challenges
The biotech company was having a hard time bringing about collaboration through their legacy solution in use. Tracking the status of the business opportunity, visibility in regard to who all are working on certain opportunities, and any update in terms of resources and requirements, were all being relayed late or becoming error prone and ineffective.
The biotech company was previously working on a Salesforce based solution for processing the business opportunities between various teams. The rigid solution previously in place was inflexible and required extensive development efforts to accommodate changes when required.
The biotech company had been facing critical issues in regard to visibility and transparency of information regarding the opportunity status, requirements and changes being done throughout the process. This substantially decreased the productivity and information relay was disturbed.
