Case Study: Top 10 Biopharma Company achieves 8,000+ hours saved in 6 months with Advarra (Veeva Vault eTMF integration)

Advarra Integrates IRB with Veeva Vault eTMF, Delivers Unparalleled Efficiency for a Top 10 Biopharma

Top 10 Biopharma Company engaged Advarra to solve a documentation and compliance challenge: their Veeva Vault eTMF received study documents from multiple sources, creating manual transcription errors, delays, and inspection-readiness risk. The customer asked Advarra to integrate its IRB platform (CIRBI/IRB-Connect) with Veeva Vault eTMF to enable real-time document transfer, reduce manual input, and improve quality and operational efficiency.

Advarra implemented a mapped integration between its CIRBI IRB platform and the company’s Veeva Vault eTMF (IRB-Connect), automating document classification, metadata mapping, and secure transfers. The project saved an estimated 8,000 hours in the first six months (about 1,333 employee hours/month), averaged 963 documents transferred per month, and delivered over $235,242 in first-year savings; the joint team also earned an internal Development Award for the work.
