Challenge

Takeda’s research teams used fragmented systems across nine departments, making it difficult to track study progress, integrate large data sources, and generate leadership reports. The lack of a unified system slowed insights and strategic decision-making.

Results

InAir developed a multi-department Airtable platform centralizing study tracking, data integration, and reporting. The solution improved visibility, efficiency, and decision-making, giving Takeda full control and transparency across its global research operations.

A Tailored Airtable System Brough Cohesion To Global Research Operations
 
PROJECT OVERVIEW

Takeda, a global pharmaceutical company, engaged InAir to implement Airtable across 9 departments, focusing primarily on developing a comprehensive project management workflow with custom reporting capabilities for leadership.

The centerpiece of this implementation was a custom-built base designed specifically to track scientific medical studies. This sophisticated solution integrated large CSV data sources and employed complex algorithms to correlate tasks with study stages, providing continuous visibility into company progress and research activities.


Disconnected Systems Slowed Insights And Research Visibility

CHALLENGE

Takeda was experiencing operational constraints in tracking and managing their scientific medical studies across multiple departments. Without a unified system, they struggled to efficiently monitor study progress, report findings, and make data-driven decisions.

  1. Fragmented Tracking Systems – Disconnected methods for monitoring scientific studies across 9 departments created visibility gaps.
  2. Complex Data Integration Needs – Difficulty incorporating large CSV data sources with study stages and associated tasks.
  3. Limited Leadership Insights – Lack of comprehensive reporting tools for executives to assess progress and make strategic decisions.
