Overcoming Operational Hurdles
BSV faced several challenges in its field operations, including fragmented reporting processes, lack of real-time visibility, and limited customization options for activity tracking. The absence of multilingual support and the need for admin-level control over data collection further complicated operations. To address these issues, BSV partnered with SANeForce to implement tailored digital solutions.
In addition, managing expense claims manually slowed down reimbursements, while event coordination and secondary sales tracking were areas with significant gaps. Doctor engagement relied heavily on traditional methods, which limited the impact of field visits. Together, these hurdles created inefficiencies that affected both rep productivity and leadership’s ability to make timely, data-driven decisions.
