Centralized data hub, supply chain efficiency, real-time tracking of time-sensitive drugs, cloud cost optimization, data governance

Business Challenge

The client faced a fragmented workflow, with data silos spread across multiple platforms, each handling specific aspects of the supply chain and patient care. This lack of centralized data made it difficult to extract meaningful insights for decision-making.

In addition, the analytics team struggled to access and identify the right data sets for analysis and visualization across both commercial and technical domains.

Why It Mattered

The medications are time-sensitive and radioactive, and the client’s goal was to reduce delivery times. Centralizing the data facilitated faster decision-making, improved patient outcomes and quicker delivery of these therapies.

Solution

Altimetrik assembled a dedicated team of 30 professionals, including data engineers, modelers and domain experts, to tackle the integration challenges and deliver a unified solution. Data was ingested from diverse sources, including file systems, APIs and cloud platforms, and integrated into target Snowflake warehouses to support both batch and near real-time processing.

The data hub integrated information from multiple sources, including order management systems, Sensiwatch platforms, courier systems and financial platforms. This centralization provided a single, real-time view of orders, case management, shipments and status updates, streamlining the process for all stakeholders. GPS data was incorporated for real-time tracking of the time-sensitive, radioactive cancer drugs.

To ensure data integrity and security, Altimetrik implemented governance controls covering user onboarding, group restrictions, naming conventions and data access protocols, and developed Power BI dashboards for financial insights. Snowflake product costs were optimized through pipeline refinement and process improvements. The hub also gave the client access to metrics on user engagement, patient outcomes and feedback loops, enabling it to evaluate the effectiveness of Radioligand Therapy Care and adjust operations.
