Turn forecast chaos into confirmed commitments.

Veratrak makes it easy for pharma teams and their CDMOs to align on demand signals - comparing what was forecasted, what was committed, and where the gaps are. All in one structured view.

The Challenge

Forecasts go out by email and come back - maybe - by email.

You send a 12-week rolling forecast to three CDMOs. Two respond with partial confirmations. One doesn't respond. You're tracking this in a spreadsheet that's already wrong by Tuesday.

There's no structured process to compare versions.

The CDMO confirms different quantities to what was forecasted. Somewhere in the email chain there's a reason. Nobody's sure if the latest email supersedes the previous one. The reconciliation happens in a PowerPoint deck, once a month.

Gaps surface too late in the planning cycle.

A 10% shortfall confirmed six weeks out is manageable. Discovered two weeks out - because the monthly reconciliation call just happened - it's a supply crisis. The lead time for escalation has passed.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from fragmented to fully visible

1. Share

Forecasts are sent to partners and received from CDMOs via any channel - API, SFTP, email, or file upload. Veratrak ingests and normalises them regardless of format.

2. Compare

Veratrak maps forecasted quantities against confirmed quantities for each SKU, site, and time period. Gaps are calculated and displayed in a structured side-by-side view - no spreadsheet required.

3. Align

Gaps are flagged and tracked to resolution. Mark a reconciliation as Final to lock the agreed position. The confirmed quantities feed directly into Supplier Performance and Supply Risk.

"CPFR used to mean PowerPoint and email. Now we have a structured process that both sides work in - and we're catching gaps before they become emergencies."

Key Capabilities

Flexible forecast ingestion

Accept forecasts from CDMOs in any format - CSV, Excel, XML, email attachment. Normalised automatically on receipt.

Side-by-side comparison

Forecasted vs confirmed quantities per SKU, site, and time period. Gaps are visible at a glance - no pivot table required.

Gap identification

Shortfalls and surpluses are flagged automatically. Prioritise the most material gaps without trawling through every row.

Version tracking

Each forecast cycle is versioned. See the history of submissions and confirmations per supplier - including who changed what and when.

Mark as final

Lock a reconciliation when both parties are aligned. Final status triggers downstream updates to Supply Risk and Supplier Performance.

Track supplier performance

Forecast accuracy and confirmation timeliness feed into the Supplier Performance scorecard - giving you a complete picture of CDMO collaboration quality.

COMPLIANCE & SECURITY

Built for regulated envrionments

Forecast exchanges are versioned, attributed, and logged - creating a traceable record of demand alignment across your CDMO network.

EU GMP ANNEX 11

All forecast submissions and confirmations are logged with timestamp and source. Reconciliation history is immutable and permanently retrievable.

GDP

Forecast alignment records provide documented evidence of agreed supply commitments - supporting regulatory expectations for documented partner communication.

ALCOA+

Data is Attributable and Contemporaneous. Original forecast files are stored alongside normalised records. The reconciliation trail is complete and enduring.
