CLIENT CASE STUDIES

Global Biopharma Leader, GPM Implementation​

A Global Biopharmaceutical leader partnered with Marbls to implement a new Global Pricing Management (GPM) system: Navlin by Eversana. The successful engagement drove operational excellence throughout the company, improved pricing transparency, and informed long-term planning for the GPM system while aligning pricing operations across business units and global regions. ​

  • Absence of automated IRP and LSO capabilities, requiring significant manual effort and increasing risk of errors​
  • Lack of centralized, real-time global reporting, hindering price oversight and strategic decision making​
  • Limited visibility into forecasting data, with poor integration between global budgeting processes and country-level price inventories, leading to fragmented insights and misaligned pricing decision​​

  • Reviewed Pricing Governance and provided feedback/suggestions for improvement based on industry benchmark​​

RESULTS
