business objective
A global pharma manufacturer needed to identify qualified suppliers across four categories: packaging, lab consumables, cleanroom gear, and logistics. The aim was to expand the supplier base, meet regulatory standards, and reduce risk across operations in the US and Southeast Asia.
Our solution
- AI-led Scan: Our AI scanned over 1,200 suppliers and filtered them by certification, capacity, geography, and audit history. The scan narrowed the list to 70 high-potential suppliers, cutting initial research time by 60%.
- Pharma Analyst Review: A senior pharma procurement analyst validated the shortlist, conducted checks on GMP and compliance documentation, and interviewed select suppliers. Using a custom scoring model, the team ranked 50 suppliers based on regulatory fit, reliability, and past performance.
Advantage of AI-First Approach: AI handled the heavy-lift on supplier discovery and validation prep, allowing analysts to focus only on high-quality leads. This cut manual effort significantly and improved the speed and precision of recommendations.
Outcome
The client onboarded 6 new suppliers within 6 weeks, reduced research costs by 45%, and improved time-to-decision by 3 weeks compared to previous cycles.
