CLIENT CASE STUDIES

Biopharma Leader, GPM Implementation Services

A mid-sized Pharma company operating across 3 therapeutic areas saw its global pricing system being decommissioned.

  • Current pricing operations were fragmented, relying on various excels and disconnected tools, leading to inefficiency and lack of automation​
  • Critical workflows lack compliance and automation, such as price validation and approval, increasing the risk of errors and operational costs​
  • Data inconsistencies between internal systems and public sources threaten pricing accuracy, audit reliability, and regulatory compliance (e.g., health authority price certificates)​
  • Fragmentation caused governance issues, leading to higher operational overhead, reduced agility, and risk of internal/external audits​​​​
