(IDBS: Woking, England; Boston) -- BioIVT, a leading provider of in vitro ADME research services, has successfully completed a collaboration with IDBS to implement the IDBS E-WorkBook platform, significantly reducing study times by at least 30%. The project has enabled BioIVT to enhance efficiency and responsiveness to its biopharmaceutical clients.

BioIVT sought a technological solution to enhance efficiency and maintain its reputation for responsiveness. The solution needed robust data processing and reporting capabilities to reduce study cycle times and increase capacity. Flexibility and user friendliness were essential to promote adoption across multiple departments.

After evaluating various options, BioIVT selected the E-WorkBook for its comprehensive capabilities. IDBS worked closely with BioIVT to develop and implement the system, ensuring it met the critical needs of each department. Custom workflows were created to streamline processes and enhance efficiency.

The implementation of E-WorkBook led to significant process improvements across multiple departments. Efficiency gains of 40–70% were noted in activities such as documentation, data processing, and addressing audit findings. The study director and maintenance and metrology teams experienced the most notable effects, with an overall reduction in time across all activities by at least 30%. This resulted in a 20% increase in capacity, equivalent to weekly time savings of approximately eight hours per user.

Joanna Barbara, Ph.D., site lead at BioIVT in Kansas City, Kansas, says, “Implementing the IDBS E-WorkBook platform has been transformative for our operations. The streamlined processes and increased efficiency have allowed us to deliver data to our clients at least four weeks faster. This collaboration with IDBS has truly enabled us to achieve our goals.”
