Bridging the Gap: How AI Prevented a Compliance Crisis by Harmonising Global Pharma Policies
Harmonising Global Pharma Policies: AI’s Role in Avoiding Regulatory Penalties | Case Study
In the labyrinth of global pharmaceutical operations, inconsistencies in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can trigger compliance nightmares. A multinational pharma giant faced just that—thousands of SOPs and internal policies scattered across regional offices, many outdated or conflicting. These gaps risked costly regulatory penalties and delayed product launches.
With looming inspections and expanding markets, the company deployed aiMDC to rapidly compare and analyse thousands of documents across geographies and languages. The AI pinpointed divergent protocols, flagged outdated sections, and prioritised compliance risks—all within days.
This actionable insight empowered the compliance team to swiftly update policies, align practices, and submit harmonised documentation ahead of audits, avoiding potential fines estimated at $15M and safeguarding the company’s market reputation.
