Intelligent Infrastructure for Science

Purpose-built software for every stage of the R&D lifecycle.

One platform to orchestrate every supplier connection, contract, and workflow, so scientists can focus on science, and procurement teams can focus on strategy.

WHO THIS IS FOR

R&D Operations and Procurement Teams Running Discovery and Preclinical Programs

This solution is built for teams that:

• Source specialized external capabilities for assays, screening, lead optimization, DMPK, and other preclinical studies
• Manage relationships with dozens of service providers and consumable suppliers without a unified system
• Need to onboard new suppliers faster than the current contracting process allows
• Lack real-time visibility into external R&D spend across services and consumables
• Want scientists focused on experiments, not on coordinating purchase orders and tracking invoices

THE PROBLEM

Everyone is losing time to infrastructure that was not built for this.

Scientists are coordinating suppliers and tracking invoices alongside their research. Procurement teams are reconciling data across disconnected systems. Legal and compliance teams are manually compiling documentation that should already exist in one place.

The teams are not the problem. The infrastructure is. Most R&D operations tools were built for a different era: one where organizations had to choose between rigor and speed.

We choose both.

THE SOLUTION

Intelligent Infrastructure for Science

Science Exchange is a technology platform supporting the full continuum of life sciences R&D. More than a marketplace: we orchestrate connections, contracts, and workflows across thousands of scientific service partners and lab consumable providers, eliminating the hidden friction that slows science.

One global ecosystem. Working together to move science forward.

PLATFORM SOLUTIONS

Purpose-built for every stage of the R&D continuum

Pre-Clinical R&D

Accelerate discovery and development programs without administrative bottlenecks. Access thousands of pre-contracted suppliers for assays, screening, lead optimization, and other preclinical studies; all services and consumables under a single overarching agreement.

Clinical Research

Coordinate clinical trials across sites and specialized vendors. Maintain regulatory compliance, control spend, and keep trials on schedule with centralized vendor management.

HEOR and Real-World Evidence

Standardize vendor management and spend visibility across your health economics and outcomes research portfolio. Automated workflows from intake to billing.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Five ways we remove R&D friction

Start Work Immediately

Access thousands of pre-contracted suppliers from day one. No individual contract negotiations, CDAs (Confidentiality and Disclosure Agreements), or MTAs (Material Transfer Agreements). Supplier discovery to project start in days.

Drive Compliant Workflows

Standardized, automated workflows for every step of the supplier lifecycle. Compliance checkpoints, approval routing, and audit trails built in.

Streamline Your Payments

Automated invoice matching, milestone-based payment release, and multi-currency processing. Real-time spend visibility against approved budgets.

Discover Strategic Insights

Real-time analytics, network benchmarking, and supplier performance tracking. Turn your R&D supplier data into a strategic advantage.

Integrate Your Systems

Connect to ERP, P2P, CTMS, and LIMS. Science Exchange acts as the orchestration layer on top of your existing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is R&D supplier orchestration? R&D supplier orchestration is the coordination of every operational step required to work with external scientific partners: sourcing, qualifying, contracting, managing projects, processing payments, and tracking performance. Science Exchange built this as a unified platform because life sciences organizations were managing these steps across disconnected systems, spreadsheets, and manual workflows.

How is Science Exchange more than a marketplace? A marketplace helps you find suppliers. Science Exchange manages the entire relationship from first request through final payment. We handle compliance verification, execute contracts under one master agreement covering thousands of pre-qualified partners, process milestone-based payments, and generate spend analytics across your full R&D supplier portfolio.

What R&D functions does Science Exchange support? Science Exchange supports the full R&D outsourcing lifecycle across preclinical research, clinical trials, HEOR and real-world evidence studies, and laboratory services. Each solution area is built on the same platform infrastructure, so compliance, contracting, and payment workflows are consistent whether a team is sourcing a bioanalytical assay or coordinating a multi-site clinical study.
