Pharmaceuticals and Biotech
Keep your business healthy with a shot of Jonova software.
In pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, both your top line revenue as well as your bottom line are threatened by increasingly stringent regulation, government price controls, cost pressures and fewer blockbuster drugs. The extremely competitive landscape for in-licensing and the need to continuously right size the internal and external manufacturing networks without compromising supply or local compliance efforts requires you to be able to understand a broad range of business drivers. Unfortunately, today’s ERP and Advanced Planning systems do not have the ability to understand the critical drivers, financial impacts and tradeoffs unique to this industry to enable you to manage the challenges and opportunities to outperform the competition.
Jonova can help you increase pipeline productivity, reduce time to market and improve efficiencies across the business. You will want to use Jonova software to simulate key elements of your value chain including: molecule/candidate, product partnerships, development, sales and marketing resourcing requirements and investments, ownership of brand, product and IP, physical flows throughout the supply network and product values and volumes. You will better understand the interdependencies of variables such as revenue, cost, cash, volume, mix, yield, etc. and how to manage simultaneous changes of multiple variables. By continuously measuring delivery against strategy, you are able to identify opportunities to streamline management of your combined global assets, reduce working capital requirements, reduce COGS and enhance value.
