This is along with delivering more personalized services while matching the growing patient expectations.
• Meeting regulatory compliance: Compliance with regulations like the HIPAA in the US and the GDPR in the EU come with enormous price tags. The pharmaceutical industry needs a compliance upgrade that can be made possible by digital technologies. The software help tremendously reduces manual efforts, streamline reporting and centralize data. This is something that would ease the operations of the compliance departments of organizations.
• Manufacturing and trial enhancement: The pharmaceutical software allows companies to automate, optimize their R&D operations and clinical trials. This can further help improve data management, enable the creation of protocols, accelerate clinical analysis and reporting. Further, the software can even serve as a centralized data repository that helps spot inconsistencies with research data at an early stage. They can even help optimize the complex manufacturing network – by automating documentation, reporting & inventory tracking and more. And, ultimately this would offer pharma companies to gain better control over production, accelerate the production lifecycle and improve drug quality.

Apart from the challenges of ensuring data privacy & regulatory compliance & choosing the right technology, the following are a few key challenges that are efficiently addressed by an experienced pharma software development company:

• Costly and complex integrations: A comprehensive software for manufacturers for this industry requires integrations with third-party systems for drug discovery, accounting, shipping, prescription labeling & payment processing along with the hospital’s EHR/EMR systems and customer databases. As a trusted technology partner, we provide swift and seamless integration services that help you unlock end-to-end visibility into your business apps and data. We focus on API-first integrations, app-to-app integrations & custom integrations to help expedite the time to value on tech investments of every size and scale.
• Scalability issues: Pharmaceutical apps must work at optimal efficiency 24×7 and across devices. And, without the consideration of the right technology clubbed with specialization of development company – the performance, availability, and security of solutions might suffer in the long run. Adding to this the maintenance of the application can cost a lot – if not optimized properly. You would agree that with any patient-oriented pharmacy app the longer periods of downtime would ultimately cost manufacturers and wholesalers significantly. Therefore an experienced partner can ensure meeting the mobility, flexibility & scalability needs.
• Personalization requirements: To manage complex data transfers between internal and external stakeholders the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry players need highly personalized solutions. Therefore, inaccurate business analysis can lead to inefficient software development that won’t address your unique goals. An enterprise software development company like Rishabh offers a good combination of BA analysts, data scientists among others to ensure data management is accurately mapped.
