Takeda Pharmaceuticals is a global, values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical leader. The company’s research scientists relied on a legacy system to request chemical compounds from outsourced manufacturers. But the system’s underlying technology had reached end-of-life. Takeda used OutSystems to rebuild its outsourced compound synthesis solution. The new application was built in just four months and has improved collaboration, efficiency, transparency, and compliance.
With an innovation-driven approach to research and development (R&D), Takeda is a global, values-based, biopharmaceutical innovation leader, developing new drugs and vaccines at its research centers in Asia, Europe, and North America.
“Our applications involve scientific workflows that require custom development. I’ve tried several development platforms, and I found OutSystems the best by far for building modern applications. It’s fast, intuitive, and provides great UI/UX."
At the heart of its R&D program is its outsourced compound synthesis platform—which enables Takeda’s research scientists to request chemical compounds from outsourced manufacturers.
But with the system’s technology reaching end-of-life, the company needed to rapidly modernize its legacy application. An improved modern user experience and enterprise-grade scalability and security were crucial requirements.
