CHALLENGE
A leading pharmaceutical company faced increasing complexity in managing sampling operations across multiple therapeutic areas. Inconsistent vendor data, incomplete practitioner authorization documentation, and deviations such as duplicate orders and expired sample fulfillment created significant compliance risks under PDMA regulations. These challenges escalated with upcoming high-profile product launches, requiring the onboarding of 400+ new representatives with accurate storage location records, training verification, and audit readiness. Without a structured approach, the organization risked non-compliance, shipment errors, and delays in launch execution.
