SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management (ICSM) is the latest industry standard to manage the clinical trial supply chain. Built on SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP) and powered by SAP S/4HANA, the ecosystem solution is robust, flexible, and offers leading capabilities.

Leveraging cloud technologies for clinical trial supply management (CTSM)
The new solution Intelligent Clinical Supply Management is the answer to managing the seismic shift to patient-centric value chains.
As the lead system integrator, we are proud that the launch of SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management was such a sucess. An industry consortium of leading pharma companies, industry service and software providers, and SAP, is developing the platform, designed with an ecosystem approach.
The SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management ecosystem
Clinical trial supply chains operate globally and have interactions with, and dependencies, on 3rd party partners. With Tenthpin providing much of the solution know-how, Intelligent Clinical Supply Management will be an ecosystem solution with integrations to partners and IRT providers using industry standards.
IRT integration
Integration capabilities with study IRT solutions will cover all depot to site inventory requests through execution. Anonymized patient enrollment and visit information will be included to allow for improved clinical supply planning and replenishment algorithms.
3rd party integration
Integration capabilities to drug manufacturers, packagers, and distributors are being developed leveraging cloud technologies. The resulting end-to-end visibility of near real-time inventory in a standards-based IT architecture will benefit drug sponsors and 3rd parties.
