Our Data Engineers embed with your team to deliver a Commercial Data & Analytics Platform you control — from product launch through ongoing commercial operations.
Three DataKitchen pharma customers secured exits totaling $100 billion — powered by our commercial data platform.
Key points
Data engineers with commercial pharma experience embed with your team, so nobody spends the first three months learning what a specialty pharmacy feed is.
The platform is yours: your cloud, your tools, your code. There is no proprietary runtime to leave behind when the engagement ends.
Built for the launch calendar — field reporting, patient services, specialty distribution and payer data land in the order a launch actually needs them.
Three DataKitchen pharma customers secured exits totalling $100 billion while running on this platform.
Tests run on every load, so a broken specialty pharmacy file is caught before it reaches a field report rather than after a rep questions the number.
How It Works
Our Data Engineers work as part of your team to deliver a Commercial Data & Analytics Platform that you control. Make the changes you need to keep up with your customers’ demands. Our team integrates varied data sources into a single, cross-channel Agile Data Warehouse that supports your product launches and the ongoing growth of commercial products with high-quality, on-demand analytics.
Simplify Complexity
We integrate all the myriad pharma data sources into a single, cross-channel Agile Data Warehouse. Speed and high quality are ensured by automating the processes that move, transform, and test the data.
Access Deep Expertise
DataKitchen's engineers work as part of your team with deep, unparalleled experience in the pharma industry, DataOps, and Agile practices. They hit the ground running from day one.
Transition Seamlessly
We use our cloud-based DataOps software with your team to automate and coordinate your entire data organization. When the time is right, the platform transfers simply to your team.
Product Launch Platform
During a product launch, brand and sales management must rapidly alter their tactics and strategies to meet forecasts. We created an integrated Commercial Data & Analytics Platform under the brand and sales team's control. This enabled the team to:
Quickly iterate on analytics without sacrificing data quality.
Provide key insights to the management team and quickly identify and address anomalies within sub-national market dynamics.
Regularly evaluate whether a shift in marketing tactics was warranted, keeping them ahead of their competition.
Managed Markets Platform
Managed Market teams spend millions on data, systems, software, and ad hoc consulting. Our Commercial Data & Analytics Platform fully integrated all relevant data to answer key questions such as:
Which major model groups ranked as most important for critical brands?
How is brand performance tracked nationally and regionally by major model groups and individual payers?
Which individual payers are most influential for critical brands?
How does formulary status influence market share and brand growth?
Specialty Pharma Provider Platform
Life science organizations must drive specialty therapy revenue by identifying new prescriber opportunities, optimizing treatment paths, and flagging approval roadblocks or improper use scenarios. We created an integrated Specialty Pharma Provider (SPP) Commercial Data & Analytics Platform under the Specialty Pharma team's control. This enabled the team to:
Understand the complex influence and distribution dynamics across their specialty networks
Drive access for local reimbursement and formulary placements
Improve adherence by better understanding patient treatment journeys
Non-Personal Promotion Platform
Digital channels have disrupted the industry. Non-personal promotion (NPP) data sources have exploded with insight into every aspect of your customer, their interaction channel, and their journey. Pharma companies must leverage this insight to understand customers and drive meaningful engagement. We created an NPP data Commercial Data & Analytics Platform under the analytic team's control. This enabled the Marketing team to:
Easily measure the ROI of their marketing
Optimize their marketing channels and make more impactful budget decisions
Integrate data from all channels into one 360-degree view of the customer.
Common questions about Commercial Pharma Analytics
What makes commercial pharma data hard to manage?
You did not create most of it. Specialty pharmacy dispense feeds, claims, syndicated market data, 3PL reports, and patient services records arrive from vendors on their schedule and in their format. The picture of a prescriber or account is assembled from several sources, so failures live in the relationships between feeds.
What breaks most often in commercial pharma data?
Partial files that look complete, vendor restatements that read as growth, and territory realignments that make a rep's numbers drop overnight. None of these trip a null check, because the data that arrived is perfectly valid and simply incomplete, restated, or remapped.
Why do generic data quality checks miss pharma problems?
Because the identifiers fail silently. NPI, NDC, DEA, ICD, HCPCS, and place-of-service codes are the join keys of the entire ecosystem, and a wrong-format NDC still looks like an NDC. The join quietly drops rows and every downstream number comes in low with nothing erroring.
How fast can a commercial data warehouse be stood up?
Faster than a traditional program, because the approach starts by measuring the feeds you already receive rather than by designing a target model first. That produces working coverage and a defensible finding list early, which is what keeps a launch timeline realistic.
Does this work for a product launch timeline?
Yes, and launch is the common case. Launch analytics depend on vendor feeds that are new, changing, and unforgiving of error, with field credibility on the line from week one. Automated coverage matters most exactly when the team is smallest and the scrutiny is highest.
Can this run inside our security perimeter?
Yes. The tooling is Apache 2.0 and runs behind your firewall, with tests executing as SQL inside your own warehouse so no rows cross the wire. For pharma security reviews, that is usually the question that decides whether an evaluation continues.
Who at DataKitchen would work on our launch?
Eric Estabrooks, Co-Founder and VP of Services, and Chris Bergh, CEO, lead this work, and the engineers are DataKitchen staff rather than subcontractors. The track record is specific: the commercial analytics platform behind the Otezla launch at Celgene ran more than 1,000 dashboards on hundreds of data sets, covered by over 20,000 automated tests, and absorbed more than 100 schema and data changes a week. Three DataKitchen customers, Celgene, Karuna and Acceleron, were later acquired for $100 billion combined.
