For clinical trial finance professionals who want their financial software to work with their study software and their Office software, TranSenda delivers the first and only Office-based clinical payment solution. Unlike other clinical trial payment systems, which function outside of office software, TranSenda’s Office-Smart Clinical Payment Manager is designed to take full advantage of the powerful Microsoft Office System.

With TranSenda’s Office-Smart technology, relevant data such as subject activities and milestones captured in Excel spreadsheets can be automatically tagged and translated into invoice line items according to established payment rules. Actual payments due can be calculated based on negotiated contracts and verifiable clinical activity. With Office–Smart Clinical Payment Manager™ you can achieve full insight into what’s been paid, what is owed and what is projected for a specific time period—enabling you to manage and control your clinical budgets. Insight into financial status includes always knowing accrued totals in real-time for the current payment period.

Turn the investigative grant payment process into a profit center

Most financial systems don’t have the functions or the flexibility needed to efficiently track payments specific to clinical trials. And manual payment calculation can involve extensive sorting through trial activity and contracts—a process that takes time, limits visibility and is often prone to error. It also results in the #1 complaint of investigators—a lack of timely and accurate payments. Offered as both a stand-alone system or fully integrated with TranSenda’s Office-Smart Clinical Trial Manager™, Office-Smart Clinical Payment Manager will work with your Office software to maximize efficiency. An Office-Smart clinical payment solution can turn your payment process into a source of profit instead of frustration.
