Planisware Enterprise, an AI-powered unified platform, is transforming how pharmaceutical companies manage their clinical supply chain for CMC. By replacing scattered spreadsheets, manual reports, and disjointed systems, Planisware consolidates all supply chain data in one place, providing unparalleled visibility and control from strategy to delivery.
In the fast-paced world of clinical trials, managing the Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) aspects of your drug development pipeline is incredibly complex. From API production and drug product manufacturing to assembly, packaging, and distribution, every stage demands meticulous planning, real-time visibility, and proactive decision-making. Delays, unexpected patient enrollment shifts, or production constraints can significantly impact trial timelines and patient access to critical therapies.

Planisware Enterprise: Optimizing Clinical Supply Chain Management for CMC
Real-Time Clinical Supply Chain Visibility with Planisware Enterprise
Imagine having a clear, real-time view of every stage of your clinical supply chain, accessible at a glance. Planisware Enterprise offers precisely that. Its intuitive dashboards allow you to:
- Manage Issues Proactively: Gain a structured view of all ongoing issues, providing real-time visibility into critical supply chain risks. Anticipate bottlenecks and mitigate delays before they impact trial timelines. For instance, if a shortage in API production occurs at a specific site, you can identify the issue immediately, before it affects downstream processes.

- Track Volumes at Every Stage: Instantly see volumes for API, Drug Product, Assembly, and Packaging. This multi-level breakdown details each clinical project by country and key supply chain stages.
- Monitor Delivery Performance: An On-Time Delivery (OTD) indicator clearly shows whether your shipments are on schedule, helping you monitor order performance in real-time. For example, if an order for aluminum adjuvant is delayed, it’s immediately flagged, allowing you to assess the potential impact on production and dosing schedules.
- Receive Immediate Alerts: Get automated notifications on critical changes, such as an API volume change or capacity issues in certain departments. This proactive alert system helps you act before delays or shortages impact your clinical trials.
- Monitor Purchase Orders: Planisware offers a structured overview of all purchase orders, with real-time monitoring of their performance. This enables improved supplier coordination and allows you to proactively identify late deliveries, reducing supply chain disruptions.

Proactive Planning and Automated Forecasting for Clinical Supply Chains
Beyond tracking real-time volumes, Planisware empowers proactive decision-making through advanced forecasting and simulation capabilities:
- Model Different Scenarios: Model various supply chain scenarios based on patient enrollment trends, production constraints, and potential delays. For example, if patient enrollment in a Phase 3 trial increases unexpectedly, you can quickly adjust API and Drug Product forecasts to meet demand without delays.
- Identify Deviations: By comparing planned versus actual production, Planisware highlights deviations, allowing you to anticipate supply issues before they escalate and make data-driven adjustments. This structured visibility helps improve your forecasting and production alignment.
- Leverage Historical Data: Track volume trends across multiple years to anticipate potential supply gaps or overproduction. This helps refine forecasts and adjust production targets for future trials based on historical performance.
Automation and Efficiency: Streamlining Clinical Supply Chain Reporting
One of the most significant advantages of Planisware Enterprise is its ability to eliminate time-consuming manual processes:
- Automated Data Consolidation: Planisware seamlessly integrates with your existing systems (MESS, Alteryx, Excel reports, manual forecasts, Jira, etc.) to centralize and standardize your supply chain data. This ensures data integrity and streamlines reporting.
- ERP Integration: Planisware Enterprise is designed to complement your existing ERP system. While ERP solutions are essential for handling transactional processes such as finance, procurement, and inventory, they are not built to manage the unique complexity of clinical supply chains. Planisware bridges this gap by integrating seamlessly with your ERP, pulling in critical data while adding advanced forecasting, scenario modeling, and real-time visibility tailored to CMC operations.

- Real-time Insights: Instead of spending hours consolidating data, you get an automatically updated dashboard with alerts, trends, and insights at a glance, enabling faster, more accurate reporting and better decision-making.
- Complete Traceability: Every supply chain step, from API production to final packaging, is fully traceable within the platform. You get a complete history of volume changes, supplier updates, and delivery timelines.
“It would be impossible to manage the complexity of geographical locations, global presence, alliance management, and the wide variety of products we develop without the help of the re-shaped program management methodology and Planisware Enterprise. We’re doing things that would have been impossible before.” — Kristof Bagdi, Gedeon Richter
