Where time goes

Vendor searches take 1-2 months of ClinOps, DM, and procurement time.
Shortlists come from who has the biggest booth or the warmest intro.
Public review sites are biased, and your team can't post honest reviews.
Whoever picks the vendor owns the risk if it underdelivers.

The 1-2 month range is an industry estimate.

The workflow

1

Share what you have.

A protocol synopsis, an RFP, or a few lines about the study.
2

Review your requirements.

Shepp sorts them by service category (imaging core labs, data management CROs, full-service CRO, safety, clinical monitoring, and more). Edit anything it got wrong.
3

Set your priorities.

Price, local support, therapeutic experience, timeline.
4

See blinded matches.

Vendors ranked by fit. Click any one to see which requirements it meets, partially meets, or misses.
5

Invite to bid.

Shepp sends the invitation to the vendor for you.
6

Select and manage.

Track the chosen vendor after award and leave private feedback.

Why blinded

Names stay hidden until you have seen fit. The shortlist reflects capability, not brand recognition.

Names unlock when you invite.

Your feedback stays private

Feedback you leave on a vendor never appears on a public page. It adjusts how that vendor matches on future studies, so poor delivery has a cost.

Security and confidentiality

NDA before access during the pilot.
Your study details are never shown to vendors you have not invited.
Placeholder: hosting, encryption, and access controls. Confirm these with engineering before publishing. No certification is claimed here.
