Company Successfully Upgrades to MI for iPad SaaS in 60 Days across Commercial Teams in Europe's Top Five Countries
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cegedim Relationship Management today announced that Sinclair IS Pharma successfully upgraded to MI for iPad®, the next-generation CRM SaaS solution, for its commercial teams in the five largest European countries. Sinclair IS Pharma, an international specialty pharmaceutical company, focuses on the therapeutic areas of dermatology, wound care, oncology support and critical care.
Centralizing Multi-Country Management through Advanced CRM Mobility
Leading Life Sciences companies work hard to consolidate the management of a multi-country presence into a centralized system. They need solutions to manage local, regional, and global requirements seamlessly; minimize costs; and enhance field personnel's interactions with stakeholders.
Within a 60-day timeframe, Cegedim Relationship Management worked closely with Sinclair IS to develop a customized tool designed to fit the exact needs of the sales and marketing teams. The solution allows for a comprehensive follow-up on daily activities of sales reps and an intuitive presentation tool.
"Cegedim has a very positive track record, so we naturally approached them for a global mobile application that could manage multi-country deployments from one core system," said Christophe Foucher, Chief Operating Officer at Sinclair IS Pharma. "Cegedim was able to implement their CRM very quickly through their SaaS technology. Initial feedback is very enthusiastic - better interaction and interest levels with the doctors and more efficiency in the medical representative's daily assignments. The goal is that the result is better quality calls and a sound return on investment."
As of early September, Sinclair IS's sales force across Europe successfully operates solely on this mobile device, using MI for iPad to capture activity reporting, and relying on OneKeyTM, the worldwide leading healthcare professional database, also provided by Cegedim Relationship Management.
"Sinclair provided Cegedim with a great challenge. I am pleased with the results - a quickly implemented, multi-country deployment of Mobile Intelligence within their timeframe," said Laurent Labrune, Chief Executive Office at Cegedim Relationship Management. "Sinclair IS now benefits from the robust functionality of the iPad equipped with CRM software specifically designed for Life Sciences."
Cegedim Relationship Management, the world's leading provider of Pharmaceutical CRM, continues to deliver innovative and industry specific solutions to meet the Life Sciences industry's unique requirements.
