MARKET PROBLEM
Outdated Vendor Management Systems Create Inefficiencies
in R&D Operations
Biopharma companies face increased risk in managing vendor relationships due to disparate systems that fail to connect internal and external stakeholders to a unified category and performance monitoring process. With increasing regulatory pressure for vendor oversight and data-driven decisions, this fragmented approach wastes time and resources, making it difficult to comply to industry quality and oversight standards effectively.
![lot-work-wait-tired-exhausted-woman](https://strategikon.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/lot-work-wait-tired-exhausted-woman.png)
Fragmented Ecosystem
Vendor contracts, bidding history, quality events, capability evaluations and financial data are scattered across multiple departments, systems and Excel trackers, making central vendor management ineffective and expensive.
Limited Vendor Performance Insights
Operational and quality performance is tracked primarily at the study level, limiting broader insights across projects, service categories and service providers portfolio.
Multiple Stakeholders
Vendor performance management is multi-dimensional; it involves procurement, outsourcing, IT, study team members, finance, quality assurance, subject matter experts, each operating independently and struggling to achieve greater transparency in communication.
Static Dashboards
Excel-based dashboards quickly become obsolete, hindering real-time decision-making for performance monitoring.
Time - Consuming Meeting Preparation
Governance meetings require hundreds of manhours from multiple stakeholders to compile relevant data. Typically, the governance decks and KPIs are calculated by the CRO and updated quarterly, reducing Sponsor’s control over the content.
