Case Study
Asentech Deploys “Build to Fit – Build to Scale” Omnichannel Strategy for Global Pharma Brand
Built to Fit - Built to Scale
Faced with launching a new product in a competitive market, and amid rising operational costs and limited access to sales reps, our client decided to shift to a rep-lite model augmented by an omnichannel marketing strategy. There was a catch: They had to launch their new product in four months while also ensuring that their HCP and patient support services were as good as or better than those offered by established competitors.
To craft a successful launch while setting the stage for future expansion and new product introductions, our client needed to start with a unique and differentiated experience for HCPs and practice staff. They decided that a more futuristic inventory management system would help establish them as a formidable contender in this therapeutic space. They also had to focus on building enterprise capabilities that would enable them to broaden their outreach to healthcare professionals, patients, and other key stakeholders, maintain a consistent digital brand identity, and meet regulatory requirements.
The client's product offered significant benefits over existing options. It provided a ready-to-administer solution that was both quicker and more cost-effective, targeting oncologists and urologists burdened by administrative challenges and financial limitations. These professionals required patient support services and innovative tools to efficiently manage the post-prescription journey both for the patients and HCP offices.
To showcase the advantages of the new product while addressing the needs of healthcare professionals for innovative tools and patient support services, we initiated our three-phase "Build to Fit - Build to Scale" plan. This approach is tailored to align with the client's planning requirements and operational capacities, allowing for scaling up as necessary.
