Digital Consulting: Pharma 4.0 tailor-made to your needs

The term "Pharma 4.0" consists of unattainable moonshots and hides the real challenges you should be tackling to be competitive in the future. But how do you identify quick wins?

At Körber, there are two ways we support you in implementing a digital strategy required by your own management, customers, pressure from competitors, or government authorities: First, we assess your digital maturity level using a manufacturer-independent scoring model to determine exactly where you stand. Second, we assist you as an experienced long-term partner in defining (or adjusting) your digital transformation roadmap and guide you in executing only the components of Pharma 4.0 that really deliver measurable added value when it comes to ROI. 

Find out your digital maturity levelBeing aware of your digital maturity level

lWe now know exactly where we are in terms of digital maturity. Together with Körber’s consulting experts, we will tackle and master the next steps.r

Dr. Thomas Koy, Executive Director Technical Operations, Develco Pharma GmbH

Get started fast

We can assess your digital maturity within ten working days. After only three hours you will exactly know where you stand – your starting point for successfully implementing digitization.

Identify prerequisites

The model will pinpoint any requirements that are keeping your company from moving up the digital maturity curve, e.g., replacing paper-based documentation with Electronic Batch Records management.

Industry benchmarking

You will find out how digital plant capabilities can be defined, measured, and transformed and how your plants compare against industry benchmarks. 

Precise score

The digital maturity assessment checks up to 186 test points in 8 relevant dimensions for Pharma 4.0 such as "people & culture" and "production planning & supply chain". 

Implementing digitization requires a detailed review of the current situation to determine exactly where you stand as a company. The manufacturer-independent framework of BioPhorum, a global industry collaboration accelerating progress within the biopharmaceutical industry, delivers exactly that with its Digital Plant Maturity Model. The model aims to address questions that were previously difficult to answer, such as "How mature is my plant today? and "What are my aspirations for transformation over the next three, five and 10 years?"

Pharma 4.0 is associated with many other phrases. Being state-of-the-art requires major investments. We will help you to tell the difference between what you really need and what’s optional.

When you know where you stand in terms of digitization, it is important to peek behind the "Pharma 4.0" label and distinguish what you really need from things that would be nice to have but are of negligible importance. You need to know your risks and challenges on the way of moving up the maturity curve. Rest assured that we support you to the degree you want to involve us. At Körber, we follow a hands-on approach, and we maintain long-term relationships. With our exclusive focus on pharma, we understand your processes and the challenges you face every day.
