Client Profile & Challenge

A Non-Clinical Operations and Study Manager at a mid-sized biotech company sought an efficient way to manage toxicology and bioanalytical studies. Initially relying on Excel to track milestones, they quickly recognized its limitations and searched for an automated solution to streamline processes.


The Solution

The client discovered iTraX by Elixir through industry research and scheduled a demo. With Elixir’s guidance, they customized workflows to improve study tracking, ensuring real-time visibility and operational efficiency. iTraX’s flexibility allowed them to implement structured workflows and user-friendly forms tailored to their evolving needs.


Results & Impact

With iTraX in place, study tracking became significantly more efficient. The system evolved to:

Track individual batch and lot numbers for compounds

• Automate notifications to relevant departments

• Enable alias-based searching as compounds advanced through development


When the client eventually transitioned to a new biotech company, iTraX was implemented within six months. This time, they had a clear vision of what to retain, modify, and enhance based on the experiences with the previous platform. A financial board was integrated to track payment milestones and invoicing, streamlining quarter-end closes for accounting teams.

Key Takeaways

• Efficiency & Automation: Replaces error-prone Excel tracking with a centralized system.

• Customization & Flexibility: Adapts to evolving organizational needs.

• ROI & Time Savings: Enhances reporting, milestone tracking, and financial management.

• Expert Support: Elixir’s team provides guidance to tailor workflows for optimal performance.

From an uncertain beginning to an indispensable tool, iTraX has redefined study management for this client—demonstrating its impact across multiple organizations and career stages.
