In today’s complex clinical trial ecosystem, financial transparency is not just a nice-to-have—it’s mission critical. Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) are under growing pressure to deliver faster, leaner, and more compliant trials, all while managing intricate financial relationships with sponsors, investigative sites, vendors, and regulators.
Enter Cloudbyz Clinical Trial Financial Management (CTFM), a Salesforce-native solution purpose-built to streamline, automate, and transform clinical trial budgeting, contracting, and payments. With end-to-end transparency, Cloudbyz CTFM helps CROs not only enhance operational efficiency, but also build trust with sponsors and sites alike.
Clinical trials are inherently complex, and so are their financials. Poor visibility into budgets, contracts, and payment schedules often results in:
Budget overruns and missed forecasts
Delayed or disputed payments to sites
Time-consuming manual reconciliations
Frustration and mistrust among stakeholders
Sponsors need confidence that budgets are being managed properly. Sites expect timely and accurate payments. And CROs must balance both, all while minimizing administrative overhead and staying compliant with global regulations.
Cloudbyz CTFM is designed to solve this.
Cloudbyz CTFM provides an integrated, real-time financial management solution that brings clarity and automation to every stage of the clinical trial lifecycle. Here’s how:
Create accurate, protocol-driven budgets using templates and real-time forecasting tools. CROs can model multiple scenarios and adjust for enrollment rates, regional differences, or sponsor preferences—minimizing surprises later.
Link contracts directly to payment milestones. Cloudbyz CTFM ensures every procedure, visit, or deliverable is tied to a clearly defined trigger—helping streamline invoicing and reduce disputes.
Stakeholders can view payment status, contract terms, and pending milestones in real time. This transparency builds trust and improves collaboration between CROs, sponsors, and sites.
CROs can monitor financial health through dashboards that track budget vs. actuals, outstanding payments, and variance trends. Sponsors gain confidence through data transparency.
Maintain a complete audit trail of every financial action. Cloudbyz CTFM supports multi-currency transactions, regional tax rules, and fair market value (FMV) compliance—helping ensure regulatory alignment.
At study close, automated reconciliation ensures that all payments, contracts, and budgets align. Lessons learned can feed back into future studies for continuous improvement.
By enabling transparency at every level, Cloudbyz CTFM helps transform clinical trial financial management into a strategic advantage:
| Stakeholder | Benefit |
|---|---|
| CROs | Lower admin costs, faster payment cycles, higher margins, fewer disputes |
| Sponsors | Accurate forecasting, increased ROI visibility, and trust in CRO performance |
| Sites | Clear contract terms, timely payments, stronger relationships with CROs and sponsors |
