The Challenge

"We have no single source of truth for launches."

A Top 10 global pharma company was managing launches with 20+ different systems across therapy areas and countries worldwide. This fragmented approach created data inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and high costs.

Without a centralised launch calendar, teams lacked visibility, spent a lot of time on manual reporting, and frequently reinvented launch frameworks instead of leveraging best practices. This slowed down launch execution and increased the risk of go-to-market delays.

The Path to Success

1
One Unified Platform for Launch Management

The company implemented SmartLaunch® as a centralised platform, replacing fragmented tools with a unified system for global, regional, and country-level launch teams. This provided a single source of truth for all launch activities, improving visibility, consistency, and collaboration.

2
Standardising the Launch Framework

SmartLaunch® enabled the adoption, rollout and embedding of a structured global launch framework, balancing consistency with flexibility for local market needs. SmartLaunch® enabled rapid activation of new launches, cutting the average time from 12 weeks to a few clicks. The introduction of a centralised launch calendar gave teams real-time insight into critical milestones such as Regulatory Approvals, HTA, Reimbursement, and Launch Dates.

3
Automating Reporting and Reducing Costs

Manual reporting was eliminated, with teams now able to generate real-time reports and PowerPoint exports directly within SmartLaunch®. This removed the need for weekly and monthly status reports to be put together manually, often by external consultants. This significantly reduced costs and improved efficiency.

Exceptional Impact

SmartLaunch® has become the company's single source of truth for launch planning, helping to accelerate product launches worldwide, improve decision making and drive operational efficiency at scale.
