Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) and Real-World Evidence (RWE)

Accelerate real-world evidence generation for market access and payer strategies.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Market Access and HEOR Teams Generating Real-World Evidence

This solution is built for teams that:

  • Coordinate multiple HEOR vendors across concurrent studies without a unified system

  • Need to compare proposals consistently across vendors with different quoting formats

  • Struggle to track HEOR spend and budget utilization across multi-geography programs in real time

  • Lack centralized benchmark data on HEOR vendor pricing and performance

  • Face evidence generation timelines that are directly tied to market access windows and launch schedules

THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES

Fragmented HEOR vendor management delays evidence generation

HEOR outputs are a critical component of commercial strategy - helping extend product reach, differentiation, and commercial longevity. Yet fragmented systems for managing HEOR vendors—each with different intake processes, quoting formats, and invoicing requirements—create delays that push out evidence generation timelines, directly impacting business outcomes

Why existing approaches fail:

Fragmented intake processes mean each HEOR vendor relationship starts from scratch—different forms, different requirements, different approval workflows.

Manual quoting and comparison makes it difficult to evaluate proposals consistently or track budget utilization across multiple concurrent studies.

Disconnected invoicing creates reconciliation challenges and prevents real-time visibility into spend against approved budgets.

Lack of centralized data means no benchmark insights on pricing, performance, or study execution across your HEOR vendor portfolio.

The result: Launch timelines slip. Market access opportunities close. Revenue projections miss targets.

  • Standardized intake

    Automated intake captures protocol requirements upfront and routes to your preferred suppliers.

    What you get: Stronger partnerships with HEOR teams by replacing administrative friction with increased speed and alignment to R&D goals.

  • Automated workflows

    Automated SOWs, quote reviews and rate cards eliminate manual budget processes. Streamlined supplier onboarding and built-in policy enforcement make sure nothing falls through the cracks. 

    What you get: Measurable cost-savings and streamlined operations through rate card management and supplier consolidation.

  • Centralized coordination

    Single platform coordinates supplier activities across all study sites with real-time visibility into vendor performance, milestone completion, and budget utilization.

    What you get: Optimized management of complex models with line-level visibility into everything.

  • Integrated payment and documentation

    Comprehensive audit trails track all supplier interactions, line-level invoice matching, compliance verification, and payment processing.

    What you get: Data-driven supplier relationship management through consolidated data enabling benchmarking and real-time monitoring of performance and spend.

  • Strategic intelligence

    Platform analytics surface opportunities to optimize category strategy based on aggregated spend patterns and supplier performance data.

    What you get: Identify areas for improvement and cost savings through data-driven insights that shape procurement strategy.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

We orchestrate science, not transactions

Domain Expertise and Data Model

We have decades of scopes, performance records, pricing benchmarks, and workflow patterns that exist nowhere else, allowing you to move beyond your own transactional data to power your decisions. 

Purpose-Built for Science

Unlike generic tools, we understand protocol-level requirements, scientific expertise evaluation, and regulated R&D workflows.

Complete Orchestration

We don't just connect you to suppliers. We orchestrate sourcing, compliance, contracting, payment, and performance analytics in one unified platform.

Unified Legal Framework

One Master Services Agreement covers thousands of suppliers—eliminating the need to negotiate individual contracts, CDAs, and MTAs for each relationship or project.

Global Scientific Ecosystem

Curated supplier partners, top pharma companies in the world, along with emerging biotech and a team of scientists—all working together to orchestrate scientific breakthroughs.

Results that matter

Major pharmaceutical company generated critical real-world evidence for payer negotiations 8 weeks faster through standardized HEOR vendor coordination—supporting successful formulary placement before competitor launch.

Key outcomes:

  • Accelerated evidence generation timeline

  • Centralized visibility across multiple concurrent HEOR studies

  • Standardized quote comparison and vendor performance tracking

  • Real-time budget management across multi-geography programs
