We focus on customer satisfaction at all times, and with Reliance Life Sciences, we have worked with customers directly to resolve queries and issues that they may have. This has been a significant milestone in our growth journey together as we strive for seamless execution and customer delight as significant benchmarks.

How do you ensure cost and operational efficiency?

Navitas Life Sciences’ pharmaREADY® is a fully integrated, regulatory compliant, web-based suite comprised of Document Management, Training Records Management, Structured Product Labeling, and eCTD Publishing Solutions. pharmaREADY® simplifies the complex process of creating, viewing, and managing submissions – electronic, NeeS, or paper.

The solution is owned by Navitas Life Sciences, which gives us a flexible licensing policy with no hidden charges. The cost of technology upgrade and maintenance is very competitive when compared to other enterprise applications that exist in the market.

We have strong Quality policies and procedures in place which helps in providing First-Time-Right submissions.

Navitas Life Sciences focuses on end-user adaptability. Realizing such a vision has required a paradigm shift from treating training as a part of the process to establishing systems that pave the way for tangible line-of-sight impact on usability.

The success of any application is measured by the number of users who employ our application without any challenges. User adaptability is significantly enhanced when there is sufficient training to end users.

We have a structured training program when onboarding new clients and provide training with real-time use cases. We also offer free training programs as part of our Annual application maintenance, with a training program offered once every quarter if the customer wishes.

What are you most proud of in your 10 year association with the Reliance Life Sciences?

With more competition around and demanding expectations from the clients, I would say retaining a customer for more than 10 years in itself is a proud moment.

On our side, we realize the importance of periodic upgrades, and we have implemented the same with the pharmaREADY® suite of applications. As a Service provider, we are able to meet each stakeholder’s expectations within Reliance Lifesciences. I am sure that this will continue in the future as well.
