Clinical trial supply management solution
Achieve true clinical trial supply optimization
The N-SIDE Supply App is the only solution that adds a risk-based optimization approach to clinical supply forecasting.
The Supply App helps pharma companies optimize their supply chains throughout the trial lifecycle. Make data-driven decisions about overage, packaging, sourcing, IRT setup, depot shipments, and more, all while measuring the precise impact of these decisions on patient service level and budgets.
With over 10,000 trials optimized and counting, the Supply App can be used to design and optimize any trial of any size and complexity. It’s reliable thanks to cutting edge simulation, machine learning and data visualization. Secure APIs ease data integration and help provide a seamless experience.

How it works
Optimization throughout the trial lifecycle
Trial Design
Trial Plan
Trial Monitoring
Trial Design
1Using powerful mathematical models, the Supply App quantifies the impact of strategic decisions on supply chain costs. This data helps you make optimal decisions about protocol, kit design, country selection, and other factors, while keeping site and patient centricity.
Use the Supply App to model the impact of accelerated timelines on the supply chain, avoid bottlenecks, and find the most effective solutions.
Trial Plan
2The Supply App gives you all the tools you need to create a clear strategy and action plan. Using advanced analytics, the Supply App helps you make optimal decisions that minimize waste, costs, and risks.
Outcomes at this stage include:
- Optimized packaging and sourcing campaigns
- Optimized depot resupply strategy
- Optimized IRT configuration
- Reliable forecasts for inventories, shipments, patient demand, and more
Trial Monitoring
3The Supply App doesn’t just help plan for unexpected circumstances before the trial — it helps you monitor and respond to them as they arise.
While the trial is ongoing, the Supply App uses machine learning to re-evaluate assumptions about recruitment, demand, drop-out, titrations, weight, and other factors, and to continuously optimize the supply chain strategy based on real-time data.
Meanwhile, monitoring dashboards provide complete visibility into the day-to-day progress of the trial and quickly identify where attention is needed.
“With the help of the monitoring dashboards from the N-SIDE Suite for Clinical Trials, as a trial supply manager, I know precisely the status of my trials. I am empowered to manage supplies for my trials efficiently while proactively managing risk.”
