Think ERP is too big for your pre-revenue life sciences company?
Many life sciences companies, especially in the Concept or pre-revenue startup phase, think that ERP is too costly, or too complex for a business of their size. However, in just a matter of months, these same companies often find that using Excel spreadsheets or accounting solutions like QuickBooks are just not working and/or keeping up with the growing demands of their business.
Moving to an ERP solution, like SuiteSuccess for Life Sciences, sooner rather than later helps eliminate compromises and bottlenecks before they interfere with your mission.
Considering an Equity Event?
Now is the time to drive the culture shift to act and operate like a public company well before the IPO takes place. Make sure you build in a grace period to give your organization the ability to ramp up its systems to support the new requirements that come with being public. If you haven’t invested in an ERP solution tailored to the life sciences industry, now is the time to start evaluating systems.
With over 150 implementations and counting, our team is well versed in helping life sciences companies on their path to going public as well as helping you through the process of building simple, scalable controls to reduce audit pressures. SuiteSuccess for Life Sciences supports both scalability as your organization grows and segregation of duties, even as your transactions grow more complex.
Are manual clinical trials management processes highly time consuming?
We’ve found for many life sciences companies, managing clinical trials can be incredibly manual, performed at the end of the month, and can take days to perform. The most manual process is the financial tracking of these clinical trials and the communication with vendors regarding the level of completion. If you’re currently using Excel and email communication to manage these relationships, there’s a better way.
