Penlotus helped a leading pharmaceutical firm maintain an uninterrupted supply of a critical drug during COVID-19 using predictive demand forecasting. We support pharma companies with R&D analytics, trial optimization, market strategy, and supply chain resilience.
We empower pharmaceutical clients with a suite of specialized services designed to drive data-led decision-making.
Our Forecasting Analytics practice combines deep epidemiological expertise with cutting‑edge machine‑learning to generate demand and revenue projections you can trust. We integrate real‑world data—from historical sales trends to demographic shifts—to model launch uptake, peak performance, and lifecycle trajectories. By layering analog‑based methods with hybrid ensemble models, we capture both predictable seasonality and unexpected market shocks.

Revenue & Margin “What‑If” Scenario Modeling
We map every critical touchpoint—from first symptoms through therapy adherence—to uncover friction points and optimize interventions. Sequence‑analysis techniques reveal the most common care pathways and dropout events, while cohort‑based survival analytics quantify persistence over time. Geospatial heatmaps spotlight regions of poor access or low adherence, guiding targeted outreach campaigns. Predictive churn models flag at‑risk patients before they disengage, and personalized triggers deliver the right message at the right moment to boost outcomes.

Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM) quantifies the incremental impact of each channel—digital, field, and traditional—so you can reallocate budget with confidence. We employ Bayesian and econometric techniques, incorporating adstock and decay functions to reflect carryover effects over time. Cross‑elasticity analysis helps you understand channel interactions and avoid cannibalization, while geo‑experiments validate lift in controlled markets. Our scenario planners then run hundreds of budget‑shift permutations to pinpoint the optimal media mix for both short‑ and long‑term brand health.
