Pharmaceutical Distribution – Right-Sizing the Channel Strategy for Maximum Impact

In recent years, there has been increasing appetite among manufacturers — and growing capabilities among specialized channel-distribution service providers — to shorten the value chain. When drug manufacturers reflexively commit to a distribution model that is too cumbersome, they forfeit the flexibility needed to increase efficiency, maximize return on investment and minimize risk on a product-by-product basis.

Alternatively, implementing a lean, customized distribution channel developed in close partnership with an experienced, end-to-end service provider enables improved visibility into all stages of product movement while helping to deliver therapies wherever the patient needs them — to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics and residences — with accurate, on-time delivery.

The goal is to create a nimble, data-driven infrastructure that can connect the therapy to the customer base more effectively, helping to speed therapy onboarding for patients while improving visibility.

In their latest article, EVERSANA experts Danny Williams and Scot Buchanan explain what manufacturers need to challenge the status quo, re-evaluate channel operations and prepare for upcoming DSCSA requirements.
