Industries/Pharma & life sciences

Procurement agents for life sciences,CMO bills, quality terms, and trial vendors.

Biotech and pharma teams buy CMO capacity, clinical services, lab supplies, and validated IT under quality agreements that reference change control and audit rights. Invoices include batch references, milestone fees, and pass-through costs. Agents match financial documents to POs and contracts while keeping quality and regulatory accountability with your QA team—not as a compliance claim from Stellitron.

Procurement challenges in pharma & life sciences

  • CMO and CDMO invoices bundle manufacturing steps

    Batch records, yield adjustments, and rework lines must tie to work orders and quality events before finance pays.

  • Quality and technical agreements are dense

    Change-notification windows, audit rights, and liability for recall costs are negotiated separately from the commercial MSA.

  • Clinical trial vendor spend is project-based

    CRO invoices reference visit schedules and pass-through expenses that cross functional budgets.

  • Single-source API and packaging creates continuity risk

    Regulatory filings constrain switching; risk monitoring must show exposure without suggesting unapproved substitutions.

Workflows with human checkpoints

Each workflow names the agent, what teams do today, what the agent automates, and where a person must approve.

Questions buyers ask

Does Stellitron validate GxP or Part 11 compliance?

We do not certify your systems. Agents can be deployed with audit trails and human approvals designed around your QA requirements; your quality unit remains responsible for validation decisions.

Can invoice holds reference batch release status?

When your ERP or LIMS exposes release identifiers, pilots can require a match before payment. Scope is defined with quality and IT during discovery.

How do you handle confidential trial information?

Document scope, redaction, and hosting are set in the pilot agreement. Agents can run against de-identified samples before production data is connected.

Will agents approve vendor qualifications?

No. They prepare evidence for your quality and procurement teams who control the approved supplier list.

How is ProcureAI priced?
