Hi everybody, my name is Martin McNicoll, CEO of GURUS Solutions, and today I'll answer the question: “What can Cloud ERP do for clinical trial companies.”

Clinical trial companies evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications or medical devices by monitoring their effects on groups of people. They usually charge a fixed fee to pharmaceutical and medical device companies to perform their evaluation over a period of time and produce a report in this context.

It is very important to determine the cost associated with a specific study, from recruiting, food, and lodging for the trial participants, to the medical equipment and accessories used in the conduct of the trials themselves.

To this day, these companies rely on antiquated systems and massive manual labor to account for the cost and associate each expenditure to the right project.

Modern Cloud ERP facilitates that work with intelligent workflows and flexible business rules to account for these costs, and distributes the costs across projects, providing a 360-degree view of your operations and taking control of each file while keeping an overview of your global providers across multiple sites.

These companies can dedicate their internal resources to focusing on their core business while leaving the project accounting functions to their Cloud ERP.
