The Challenges
Life sciences organizations struggle with fragmented systems, manual processes, and disconnected data
across quality, procurement, and financial operations.
Quality & Compliance Challenges
- SOPs disconnected from training records and CAPA investigations
- Audit findings lack traceability to root causes and process improvements
- Inspection readiness requires weeks of manual evidence compilation
- CAPA effectiveness checks are subjective and inconsistent
- Change control impacts on training and documentation are missed
- Quality metrics don't connect to operational performance
Procurement & Vendor Challenges
- Vendor selection relies on spreadsheets and email chains
- RFP processes take months with limited vendor comparison
- Contract terms are buried in PDFs with no change tracking
- Vendor risk scoring is manual and inconsistently applied
- Audit findings and CAPAs don't update vendor scorecards
- Procurement governance is disconnected from quality oversight
Financial & Spend Challenges
- Budget vs. actual reconciliations take days of manual work
- Invoice matching requires three-way verification across systems
- Change orders create budget overruns with no early warnings
- Accruals and reversals lack supporting documentation
- Month-end close is delayed by vendor invoice discrepancies
- Financial impact of quality issues is invisible until too late
The Root Problem: Disconnected
Systems & Broken Traceability
When quality, procurement, and finance operate in silos with separate systems and manual handoffs,
organizations lose the ability to trace decisions from SOP to spend. This fragmentation creates
compliance risk, operational inefficiency, and financial exposure — all while consuming hundreds of
hours in reconciliation and audit preparation.

Current State:
Fragmented &
Manual
Quality Operations
-
✗
4-6 weeks to prepare for FDA inspections, manually compiling evidence from 7 different
systems
-
✗
CAPA investigations averaging 45 days with inconsistent root cause analysis
-
✗
Training records disconnected from SOPs, requiring manual retraining identification
Vendor Management
-
✗
6-9 months to select and qualify new CRO vendors using spreadsheets
-
✗
Vendor audit findings tracked in SharePoint, not linked to contracts or risk scores
-
✗
No visibility into vendor performance across studies until quarterly reviews
Financial Controls
-
✗
15-day month-end close with 60% of time spent on invoice reconciliations
-
✗
Budget variances discovered 30-45 days after change orders were approved
-
✗
No connection between quality findings (deviations, CAPAs) and financial impact
Future State: Unified &
Automated
Quality Operations
-
✓
2-3 days for inspection readiness
with
automated evidence linking across all quality events
-
✓
18 days average CAPA closure with
accelerator-assisted root cause analysis and HITL validation
-
✓
Training automatically triggered by SOP changes with full audit trail from document to
competency
Vendor Management
-
✓
6-8 weeks to select and qualify
vendors
with technology augmented RFP analysis and proposal scoring
-
✓
Audit findings auto-update vendor risk scores and trigger contract review workflows
-
✓
Real-time vendor performance dashboards with predictive risk alerts across all studies
Financial Controls
-
✓
6-day close with
three-way
matching and automated variance analysis
-
✓
Budget impact alerts within 24 hours
of
change control approval with forecasted overruns
-
✓
Quality events (deviations, CAPAs) automatically linked to cost impact and vendor
invoices
