Industry

The pharmaceutical and life sciences industry has seen tremendous change in the last few years. 

Apart from the rising inflation and uncertain economic forecast that most markets are facing, pharmaceutical companies also had to navigate a surge in demand during the Covid-19 pandemic, ever-changing world-wide compliance regulations, and an evolving supply chain.

To survive in a competitive market, many companies prioritised short-term goals such as cost reduction over long-term operations strategies. This has to change.

As client expectations once again begin to shift, life science businesses are struggling to quickly deliver high-quality products while maintaining complicated, often disconnected operation infrastructure and outdated legacy systems. The pharmaceutical market demands optimised, interconnected operations. Without a significant investment in digital transformations, your business won’t be able to compete in the long-term.

Key Challenges

Managing regulatory compliance expectations

The life sciences industry has a unique responsibility to ensure all products are safe and meet efficacy standards. With complex regulations that differ country to country, global companies often struggle to keep up with all compliance rules.

How InspireXT can help

Delivering Computer System Validation (CSV) within the adoption of a new process/technology and ensuring continuous compliance – all delivered as a service through our Continuous Validation as a Service (cVaaS) proposition.

Investing in research and development

Developing leading-edge products is both costly and time-consuming. As life sciences companies work to introduce new drugs or medical devices to the market, they often struggle to manage the innovation lifecycle.

How InspireXT can help

Our advisory and process-centric services in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that cover the entire lifecycle of a product – from innovation to commercialisation to end-of-life phase-outs.

Integrating data management systems

Tracking data is an essential part of the life sciences growth cycle, mainly because of the vast amounts of analytics generated in the industry. From genomic and clinical trial data to tracking real-world evidence, companies need effective analytical management systems that accurately analyse and integrate key metrics.

How InspireXT can help

We can architect advanced analytics solutions that include multiple sources, both internal and external, and embed with AI to help visualise data and make informed decisions.

Complying with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards

In order to succeed in your field, all life sciences organisations must keep up with GMP regulations and other compliance guidelines, especially those producing pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. Regulatory guidelines include:
  • Quality Control and Assurance
  • Validation of Manufacturing Process
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Technology and Automation
  • Change Control and Deviation Management

How InspireXT can help

Expertise in designing and delivering validated and GMP-compliant processes along with enabling technology across the spectrum.

Overseeing complex supply chains

Supply chains in the life sciences industry are intricate and sophisticated. Products like pharmaceuticals and medical devices require quick and reliable delivery along with stringent quality control and GDP compliance. As companies expand to new countries and collaborate with other organisations, the supply chain becomes more complicated, forcing businesses to navigate a patchwork of regulatory landscapes, healthcare systems and cultural differences.

How InspireXT can help

Our advisory and process-centric services in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that cover the entire lifecycle of a product – from innovation to commercialisation to end-of-life phase-outs. This enables batch tracking through the value chain, as well as rapid & effective new product innovation cycles

Product Traceability

Providing batch level tracking of finished products and component materials is critical to ensure safety and compliance. With the advent of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act in the US, this will extend the product lifecycle management reporting to the distribution & retail processes across the value chain.

How InspireXT can help

We bring experts in drug supply chains to help you design and implement traceability solutions that meet the DSCSA regulations, based around a comprehensive and robust product data management & foundation.
