Still curious?

  • Does it work for Pre-Commercial Products?

    SIMPLY can be used to setup pre-launch GTN models, contributing to precise evaluation of potential pricing and contracting strategies.  Scenario analysis facilitates the decision process to land on a commercialization plan, allowing for a launch budget to be locked and then transitioned into a post-launch monthly GTN management process.

  • What does implementation look like?

    We host SIMPLY on a secure, independent  server on the AWS cloud for each manufacturer.  For pre-commercial manufacturers, SIMPLY can be up and running in 1 week.  For in-line products, implementation length is typically driven by the quality and extent of historical data conversion and complexity of ongoing data flows. Typical length is 4 months or less for mid-cap manufacturers

  • How do I get data into the application?

    SIMPLY integrates data in three ways: (1) Import loads via the User Interface; (2) Direct copy and paste from spreadsheets (because we love Excel forever); or (3) Automated API with your source systems or data lakes/warehouses.

  • What data security is there?

    We operate a “Single-tenant” architecture, which means 1 server for 1 client.  It is therefore impossible for any data contamination across manufacturers or issues of confidentiality. The data is physically segregated and secure.  Additionally, data is fully encrypted and secure using state of the art tools and protocols of the AWS cloud.  Just as critically, various redundancies exist to ensure data accessibility and disaster recovery.

  • How do new features work?

    Just like Google Docs or iOS, we deploy enhancements on a regular basis via Over the Air (OTA) updates. If Congress creates a new rebate program (IRA anyone?), we analyze the new requirement, spec it out, and release it you as expeditiously as possible.  The mission is simple- stay current with the market.

  • How do I access my data?

    “We get it. There will be times you need all your data back.  Maybe it is for integration into a new system in your infrastructure, such as a data lake.  Or maybe you no longer have a need for SIMPLY and need to retrieve the history of data that has been accumulated (we can be honest, it happens).  It’s simple- all data is archived and can be provided as a single export without extra costs or conditions.
