SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Demand Management. Since Life Sciences manufacturers invest heavily in innovation to develop and launch new products, they need superior capabilities to better sense, shape, and respond to market demand. MAXLife delivers Demand Management functionality to improve revenue predictability, deliver real-time insight on market demand, reduce revenue leakage, and increases compliance. The result is a demand-driven organization with higher service levels and sales, more satisfied customers, and lower inventory and distribution costs.

Sales and Operations Planning. Life sciences companies are facing slowing revenue growth and declining profitability resulting from reduced research and development (R&D) productivity, loss of patent exclusivity, and regulatory and pricing pressure. Market changes have diminished the sales productivity and effectiveness of the traditional Life Sciences sales model. Now, more than ever, these companies must support the needs of, and facilitate communications across, diverse sales teams and functions, as well as support emerging markets—all at the lowest total cost of ownership. With the MAXLife industry solution for integrated sales planning and execution, Life Sciences companies can support all this and more.

Collaborative Planning. MAXLife combines the power of the Microsoft Office system with enterprise resource planning capabilities and takes collaboration to the next level. Life Sciences companies can simplify communication and collaboration by making critical information and reporting and analytical tools easy to access and share through a customized, Web-based portal. This enables them to build powerful connections with employees, customers, vendors, and other business partners.

Supply Chain Planning. Distributors of pharmaceuticals and health care products face many unique challenges stemming from regulatory, revenue, channel and competitive pressures. With MAXLife, companies can build and operate world class value-chains for profitable growth. Integrating and automating all key supply chain processes, from design, planning and procurement to manufacturing and fulfillment, MAXLife provides a complete solution set to enable companies to power information-driven value chains.
