Our client, a prominent pharmaceutical company, delivers global healthcare solutions. One of their key goals is to continuously explore new strategies to refine their business operations and maintain a strong competitive edge. With a global footprint spanning multiple continents, the company remains steadfast in its pursuit of optimizing operational efficiencies to uphold its competitive position in the dynamic healthcare market.

Customer Challenges

The pharmaceutical company faced significant data challenges that impacted their efficiency and limited their ability to derive insights and identify opportunities within the vast amount of data available. The complexities of modern pharmaceutical business operations, coupled with varying regional operational methods, made it difficult for them to fully understand their global operations and make informed decisions with the data presented to them.

Monthly Data Analysis and PowerPoint Reporting

Manually transforming Excel data into actionable insights and crafting presentations was time-consuming and error-prone. Generating insights from the data also posed challenges. Consolidating insights into a 100-slide PowerPoint for various regions was a challenging task. Therefore, streamlining this process for accuracy emerged as critical.

Competitor Analysis and Market Positioning

Understanding their position within the market and evaluating competitor strategies in terms of market share and pricing presented a crucial need. Our client sought a solution to conduct a comprehensive competitor analysis to identify opportunities and mitigate risks effectively.

Sales & Sales Rep Performance Tracking and Visualization

The absence of an efficient method to track sales performance, identify trends, and compare performance across different regions hampered strategic decision-making. Additionally, the client required a flexible and intuitive visualization platform to monitor sales representative’s and sales manager’s performance metrics effectively.

Inventory Optimization

Optimizing inventory levels to minimize costs while ensuring product availability is a critical aspect of pharmaceutical operations. Our client needed a solution to predict Days on Hand (DOH) levels based on recent sales data to optimize inventory management and enhance cost-efficiency.

What-if Analysis for Marketing Spend

To optimize marketing strategies and maximize profitability, our client sought a solution to conduct a comprehensive what-if analysis simulator to evaluate the impact of marketing spend allocation on key metrics such as net profit.
