Case Study: Xeris Pharmaceuticals achieves tighter internal controls and regulatory compliance with ContractWorks

Xeris Pharmaceuticals - Customer Case Study

Xeris Pharmaceuticals, a Chicago‑based specialty pharma that recently went public and received FDA approval for its first product, faced an exponential increase in contract volume and regulatory scrutiny. Contracts were scattered across physical folders and shared drives and tracked on spreadsheets, making it difficult to maintain visibility, meet deadlines, and demonstrate compliance with requirements such as the Sunshine Act and insider‑trading rules.

Implementing ContractWorks gave Xeris a centralized repository with easy drag‑and‑drop import, built‑in e‑signature, routing, automated notifications, and robust reporting. The company now manages over 6,000 contracts, tightened financial and approval controls (ensuring finance sign‑off and purchase orders before execution), shortened internal review cycles, and streamlined onboarding and policy attestations—delivering greater efficiency, visibility, and the ability to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
