Apttus solutions optimize pricing, contracting and channel revenue processes across the healthcare landscape with powerful tools for biopharma and medical technology (life sciences) manufacturers, health payers and providers. This results in shared outcomes driving customer satisfaction, pricing accuracy and eliminating contract revenue leakage and compliance risk that otherwise multiplies cost across the value chain.

• Biopharma manufacturers, industry partners such as clinical research organizations (CRO) and wholesalers gain the power of a single contracting system of record spanning the development of complex multi-site, multi-product proposals across procurement and sales organizations. By enabling a highly streamlined and collaborative experience for procurement, legal, sales and sales operations personnel across internal and external organizations, companies ensure maximum performance across supplier relationships & purchasing contracts alike maximizing the power of partners and revenue-impacting trade practices such as channel discounts, rebates, fees, chargebacks and commissions.
