Take a Data-Driven Approach to Higher Impact Market Access

ICyte’s data refinement leverages leading-edge data science algorithms and machine learning to deliver best-in-class data stewardship, refinement, and enrichment. This helps to create deeper and faster insights around product availability and the brand’s financial performance.

ICyte analytics provides an end-to-end view of product distribution starting with pharmaceutical supplier distributor inventory, distributor sales, chain DC inventory, store inventory, returns, and POS demand. Based on actual sell-in, returns, and point-of-sale data, IntegriChain provides a weekly report of retail inventories on hand at an individual SKU level. Inventory analytics captures 100% of the inventory located in chain distribution centers, chain stores, and independent stores that house products not yet returned to the manufacturer or wholesaler.
