The key features of SAP Intelligent Clinical Supply Management are outlined below:
Clinical Study Management
Provides advanced functionality to create, manage, and design clinical studies of differing levels of complexity. Enables the specific blinding and randomization needed for clinical trials to facilitate demand forecasting, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and shipment of clinical trial materials. Includes completion checks and guided reviews when creating studies.
Inventory Management
Includes clinical trial parameters such as planned and active enrollment rates which are factored into supply and demand planning processes.
Accurate Clinical Planning
Incorporates clinical trial parameters as well as enrollment rates in supply and demand planning processes.

Visibility of Global Supply Status
Enables a supply network for all stakeholders in the clinical trial process, and proactively avoids inventory stock-outs and overage.
Demand Forecasting
Calculates and schedules demand based on comparisons between planned and actual study enrollment, and pushes demand forecasting to manufacturing.
Clinical Study Focused Manufacturing
Enables serialization, randomization, and blinded packaging and labeling of finished clinical goods.
Enhanced Distribution
Supporting distribution from production to depot as well as from depot to the clinical site, guaranteeing continuous site-stock visibility.
