IntegriChain and Knipper Team Up to Support Emerging Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Preparing for Commercialization

Philadelphia, PA, June 15, 2023 – IntegriChain, delivering pharma’s only comprehensive technology, data, consulting, and outsourcing platform for data-driven commercialization, and Knipper Health, a leading healthcare solutions company serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries, announced a non-exclusive joint initiative to support emerging manufacturers launching new products that need comprehensive 3PL services, order-to-cash, government pricing, and claims adjudication support.

“As emerging pharmaceutical companies plan for their first FDA approval and launch, their commercial and market access functions must accelerate from zero to one hundred overnight,” said Jeff Lee, Senior Vice President of Account Management and Sales of IntegriChain. “As they rapidly morph to fully commercial organizations and stand up their contracts and pricing function and distribution logistics, they require high-touch partners like IntegriChain and Knipper. We combine the industry’s largest platform for contracts and pricing services, proven implementation processes, and integrated industry and technology experts with Knipper’s safe, scalable, compliant, and cost-effective services and outstanding service levels to help these innovators ensure their patients have affordable, timely, and sustainable access to therapy.”

“Through this partnership, we are solidifying our commitment to offering the shortest path possible for patients to the therapies they need, while arming manufacturers with resources and tools that facilitate greater efficiencies on their end,” said Chris Dillon, General Manager, Knipper 3PL. “We look forward to engaging in a productive relationship with a company that plays such a crucial role in the healthcare ecosystem, enabling better patient access to medication.”
