Strategic Sourcing Solutions and Operating Cost Reductions For The Agriculture Industry

Strategic Sourcing For Pharmaceutical Companies

Corcentric Provides Innovative Cost Savings Through Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Management Services for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Changes to rebates for Medicaid beneficiaries, ACA concerns, continuing budget scrutiny at organizations like NIH, increased operating costs, and reduced protection for innovative biological medicines are common concerns amongst pharmaceutical companies, on top of the day-to-day organizational issues that every company must deal with. With all of these obstacles, pharmaceutical companies are in need of effective strategic sourcing solutions that will produce valuable supplier relationships and sustainable cost savings while continuing to drive innovative product development in a competitive global market.

Over the past decade the Pharmaceutical industry has experienced a transformation, one that has shifted organizations away from maintaining a robust, internal support team to a model that has truly taken advantage of the opportunities afforded through the outsourcing of non-core activities. The pharma industry itself necessitates this, as revenue streams constantly change, as products go off patent, and as mergers and acquisitions change business objectives. Pharma procurement and sourcing teams feel these burdens as well, operating with leaner staffing models and increasing needs from the business. With little opportunity to add headcount, procurement teams are looking to third party support to meet the demands of their internal stakeholders. Corcentric provides creative solutions to overcome these challenges.

At Corcentric, we partner with Pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers and other firms in the field of life sciences and bio-tech to develop strategies that optimize the supply chain while driving value and cost reductions in order to ensure a competitive advantage for our customers. We understand the complex and unique nature of the Pharma industry and leverage this to build strategic relationships that prove valuable in the long term.
