Life Sciences Firm SaaS Platform
A Life Sciences firm focused on accelerating drug development needed a SaaS platform that would digitize the clinical trial process. To achieve faster go-to-market results and maintain cost efficiencies, the firm sought a nearshore partner with the expertise to build and manage a robust software engineering team. Sonatafy Technology stepped in to assemble the resources necessary, leveraging Latin American talent to seamlessly integrate with the company’s existing operations.
The
Challenge.
Faced with the need to expedite feature development and comply with industry-specific standards, the firm required an agile development process that could keep pace with evolving regulatory requirements. They also needed to ensure that the team could handle HIPAA-compliant data and conform to both CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 regulations. Finding skilled engineers in the same or similar time zone was critical, as effective collaboration and rapid iteration were key to meeting their tight timelines.
Our
Solution.
Sonatafy quickly sourced a dedicated team of senior and mid-level software engineers, quality assurance specialists, and UI/UX designers based in Latin America. Within two weeks, the firm had a fully functioning engineering division, ready to collaborate directly with the CTO. By integrating seamlessly into the company’s workflows, the Sonatafy team took on designing, building, and testing the SaaS platform while adhering to strict regulatory standards. This nearshore model also helped the client reduce operational costs without compromising on quality.
Key Technical
Contributions.
The team architected and developed a scalable Ruby on Rails application, backed by MySQL, ensuring data integrity and performance. Mobile solutions were created with both Android and iOS native technologies, alongside Cordova for hybrid deployment, providing broad user reach. Automated testing tools were employed to validate compliance with HIPAA and industry regulations such as CFR Part 11 and Annex 11. Agile methodologies, supported by tools like Jira and reporting platforms, allowed for rapid iteration and transparency throughout the development lifecycle.
The
Outcome.
By partnering with Sonatafy, the Life Sciences firm successfully launched a fully compliant SaaS platform in record time. The nearshore team delivered a solution that passed multiple audits, validating its adherence to stringent data security and regulatory requirements. With efficient remote collaboration and an ability to rapidly iterate, the company achieved higher software output and timely feature releases. The engagement ultimately underscored Sonatafy’s capability to mobilize specialized teams, drive innovation, and reduce costs.
