Practical examples of content you can add
To give some examples of what kind of content you can upload and display on the platform, take a look at the follwing content of Arxum, a SaaS company in the pharma industry. See examples of a company summary, funding achievement announcement, key achievements & more (note titles underlined with the corresponding content below):
Understanding Arxum (company summary):
ARXUM has developed a disruptive SaaS solution for the pharmaceutical industry based on blockchain technology, which digitises and replaces inefficient paper-based processes and ensures data integrity required by GMP regulations for the pharmaceutical industry. The solution has been validated and implemented for the pharmaceutical industry. ISPE’s new GAMP5 publication in 2022, which provides the basis for validating software in the pharmaceutical industry, promotes blockchain technology as future technology for data integrity in the pharmaceutical industry, due to blockchain’s inherent data immutability.
ARXUM was founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneurs and in November 2022 we further strengthened the management team with an experienced manager from the pharmaceutical industry with his own entrepreneurial experience. We set up sales for Germany and France in spring 2022 and after the first customer in France we won 3 new customers within a short time. We also have a French subsidiary and our development team is located in Bulgaria.
Funding Achievements:
ARXUM has raised so far EUR 2.5 million from Venture Capital funds (C3 EOS VC, WFT Rheinland-Pfalz). ARXUM is also supported with grants from the EIC (European Innovation Council) in the amount of EUR 1.5 million, where we prevailed in a scrutinising selection process as an innovative company.
Key Achievements:
Software Product
ARXUM has built a software product portfolio that enables easy integration of blockchain technology to existing applications, ensuring compliance and data security in regulated sectors or digital traceability in Green Tech and the sustainability sector.
Pharma Industry compliant Software
In the GxP regulated Sector, together with validation partners, Arxum provides a complete validation package to take the solution in production, based on pre-validated modules and components.
Market launch
Successful market entry in Germany and France with first customers in Pharma Industry but also in Green Technology.
The Problems we solve in Life Science & Pharma:
Regulatory pressure on documentation and data:
An increasing challenge to manage regulatory documentation, quality and data integrity in Life Science, Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Market increases pressure to digitise:
- Archaic paper-based approaches, manual processes, and disparate systems cultivate vast inefficiencies as organisations struggle to use the right document versions, stay up to date with changing regulatory requirements, and ultimately achieve Operational Excellence
- The issue of data integrity continues to be the focus of international surveillance authorities. The system design and controls should allow for easy detection of errors, mistakes and deviating results throughout the data life cycle. This is crucial.
Customer, Capital Providers, and Regulatory pressure on green Technology and Sustainability:
Customers and Capital Providers are increasingly demanding sustainably manufactured products and, in parallel, regulatory pressure is increasing and recycling requirements are becoming stricter, especially in Europe.
- Evidence chains and certificates are playing an increasingly important role
- CO2 allowance trading is just one outstanding example
Our Solution:
ARXUM has developed a disruptive SaaS solution for the pharmaceutical industry based on blockchain technology, which in many cases today still replaces paper-based processes and ensures the data integrity required by GMP regulations for the pharmaceutical industry
The strength of this approach lies in the trust provided by the Smart Contract running on the blockchain, as it decides whether the latest events impact the validity of a laboratory analysis performed. There is no way to bypass this GxP-relevant business logic; no way to override the BLOCS rules and the history of the blockchain.
Laboratory control can be performed entirely digital, end-to-end transparency eradicates paper-based efforts and compliance risks surface in real-time.
ARXUM’s Business Model:
Revenues
ARXUM is focusing on recurring license revenues (SaaS) from the products created so far. This will be added by project revenues for the integration of the existing solutions into the IT-environment of the clients.
Sales Activities
ARXUM acquires customers through direct sales, but also by building a partner network of resellers. In 2022, the company’s own sales team in Germany and France was established and expanded. Arxum is partner in four publicly funded research projects, three more to start in Q4-2022 and in 2023, from which market access and business opportunities arise. ARXUM has realised first successful customer applications. These customers were acquired directly and form the first reference customers.
Sales Partners
Largest French pharmaceutical production cluster Polepharma signed a re-seller agreement. They are going to sell our solutions into their 400 member companies. Further partners are in acquisition.
