The Problem

Researchers and manufacturers needed a better way to ship various critical biopharmaceutical products so they can recruit and retain qualified patients for their studies and innovations. However, busy operations managers don’t have time to navigate complex shipping logistics regulations and restrictions.

"How do we digitally transform our shipping logistics and ordering process to meet customer demand?"
Opportunity
  • Automate Shipping Orders: Improve operational efficiency by designing a customer service platform that automates the shipping ordering process, helping users save time, minimize manual tasks, and reduce phone and email order volume.
  • Enhance Order History Reporting: Help users spot patterns and make better decisions faster by improving the value and display of ordering history data.
  • Improve Platform Efficiency: Make ordering easier and quicker for customers to encourage more repeat orders and increase satisfaction.
  • Active User Growth: Increase platform engagement and drive business growth by growing the number of active online users and reducing abandoned or canceled orders.
