Problem
Growing biopharma companies often have scientists handling lab operations alongside their research—identifying vendors, requesting quotes, creating purchase orders, tracking invoices, and managing compliance paperwork. This administrative burden diverts scientists from their core work and creates an infrastructure gap that scales poorly as teams manage dozens of external service providers and consumable suppliers without a unified system.
Solution
Science Exchange provides a tech-enabled platform that orchestrates R&D supplier relationships for biopharma discovery and preclinical programs. The solution pairs dedicated Virtual Lab Managers with automation to handle supplier identification, quote requests, purchase order creation, and invoice tracking, reducing administrative burden on scientists. Virtual Lab Managers manage lab spending by tracking invoices and receipts, partnering with accountants, and providing end-of-month reports. The platform also ensures important documents are updated and organized for Environmental Health and Safety protocols, keeping teams audit-ready without additional work.
Target Audience
Primary customers are R&D operations and procurement teams at biopharma companies running discovery and preclinical programs, including both enterprise and emerging biotech organizations.
