Drug development is too complex for generic tools
Portfolio prioritization under uncertainty
Most compounds never make it to market. Go/no-go decisions need real data, not gut feel.
Resource bottlenecks in
multidisciplinary teams
Chemistry, clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing are all competing for the same people at the same time. Bottlenecks show up late and cost more than time.
GxP compliance and
audit-ready data management
GLP, GCP, and GMP don’t stop. Neither does the documentation burden. Most tools make it harder than it needs to be.
CRO and partner collaboration without data silos
Your CROs and CDMOs are critical to delivery. Keeping them in sync without creating data silos is harder than it should be.
Real-time visibility for portfolio review committees
By the time portfolio data is consolidated for your next review, it is already out of date.
No single source of truth across the pipeline
Discovery, clinical, CMC, regulatory. Every team has their own version of the truth.
One platform for your entire drug development portfolio
Built for how your
teams actually work
teams actually work
cplace is the project portfolio management software for pharma and life sciences organizations that adapts to your processes, not the other way around. Every capability connects back to one real-time data foundation. AI is not a layer on top; it is part of the platform from day one.
One source of truth across the pipeline
cplace consolidates data from Discovery, Preclinical, Clinical, CMC, Regulatory, and Commercial into one connected platform. Portfolio review committees get real-time visibility across all assets, milestones, risks, and resource utilization without manual consolidation. Every stakeholder works from the same real-time data.
Portfolio management and go/no-go decisions
cplace gives your portfolio steering committees the data foundation they need to make faster, better-informed investment decisions. Scenario analyses, risk assessments, and NPV comparisons are available on demand, not assembled over days before a review meeting. cplace AI agents run scenario simulations and surface prioritized recommendations.
Compliance, audit trails, and regulatory milestones
cplace supports continuous GxP-compatible documentation throughout the development lifecycle. All decisions, changes, and approvals are tracked with full traceability. Regulatory milestones are monitored across all active programs, with dependencies mapped so schedule deviations are flagged before they become program-level risks.
Resource planning across multidisciplinary teams
cplace provides real-time capacity visibility across all active programs and departments. Identify bottlenecks before they impact study timelines, reallocate specialists based on skills and availability, and run what-if analyses across the portfolio. cplace AI flags capacity conflicts before they escalate.
CRO and external partner collaboration
cplace connects your internal teams with CROs, CDMOs, and external research partners in a shared planning environment. Project data, timelines, and deliverables are synchronized in real-time without media breaks. Each partner sees exactly what they need to see, nothing more.
No more Excel, no more Shadow IT
cplace replaces the spreadsheet landscape and fragmented point solutions that still run too many R&D organizations. One connected platform eliminates redundant data maintenance, reduces compliance risk, and gives your organization decisions they can trust.
AI built for pharma portfolio complexity
Built in. Not bolted on
cplace AI works directly on your real-time portfolio data. It automates status reporting, flags compliance risks before they escalate, and answers portfolio questions in plain language.
- ~70% less effort for portfolio status reports and review preparation
- From weeks to minutes for portfolio-wide risk analysis across hundreds of active programs
Study managers, PMO leads, and regulatory teams can also build custom AI solutions directly inside the platform with cplace Citizen AI. With the cplace AI Builder, existing Excel-based workflows transform into fully structured cplace applications automatically.
Works with the tools your
Life Sciences teams already use
cplace connects to your existing enterprise stack through out-of-the-box connectors and a flexible No-Code and Low-Code integration layer. Your teams stay in the tools they know.
Any System: cplace connects to any REST-capable system via its flexible API layer. Business users configure it directly; no IT is required.
Jira Connector: Connect agile study and development teams in Jira directly to portfolio management in cplace. Real-time sync, no manual exports.
Trusted by leading organizations in Pharma and Life Sciences project management
cplace is used by global pharmaceutical and life sciences organizations to manage R&D portfolios, clinical programs, and enterprise-wide project management across thousands of users and multiple sites.
AI-powered portfolio risk

management
A leading global life sciences organization deployed cplace AI to manage a complex development portfolio with hundreds of active projects and more than 15 risk attributes per asset across four risk categories. Portfolio-wide risk reviews that previously took weeks are now completed in minutes, fully data-driven, reproducible, and scalable across the entire portfolio.
Enterprise-wide PPM transformation at a global pharma leader
One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies replaced a widely used legacy PPM system with cplace. The result: all relevant project and portfolio management information is now available on one connected platform, transparent to every stakeholder. The organization continues to expand its cplace footprint with follow-on projects across multiple divisions.
