New Veeva CRM Suggestions, Now Available, Powers Sales Teams with Data-Driven Recommendations on Next Best Action and Channel

Now available to life sciences companies in Europe, Veeva CRM Suggestions leverages the power of data science to recommend next best actions for engaging with customers across channels. Customer interactions grow increasingly more relevant and tailored to their individual needs. As part of Veeva CRM, the recommendations feed directly into sales reps' regular workflows, where and when they need it most. All Veeva CRM customers automatically receive this new capability in the latest Veeva CRM release.

Most life sciences sales teams today can tap volumes of healthcare professional data – from digital behaviors and channel preferences to feedback on products and messaging. However, integrating, organizing, and interpreting the flood of information to glean actionable business insights is a significant challenge. The amount of raw data is overwhelming and difficult to make actionable. Further, a rising number of different stakeholders at customer organizations (i.e., healthcare systems and integrated delivery networks), plus the proliferating channels to engage with them have resulted in an incredibly complex sales landscape.

Veeva CRM Suggestions uses data science to cut through this complexity to deliver clear recommendations to reps on the best messages, actions, and channels for greater customer engagement and communication effectiveness. An interactive dashboard puts these suggestions at reps’ fingertips to take immediate action or provide feedback to create a continuous learning loop and improve future suggestions.

“Smarter interactions with customers and stakeholders based on insights from a growing pool of data will deliver a competitive advantage for life sciences companies,” said Jan van den Burg, Veeva VP Commercial Strategy, Europe. “Veeva CRM Suggestions puts data-driven insights at the center of execution for field teams to have more impactful engagements.”

Veeva CRM Suggestions is powered by data science, which mines volumes of data and uses predictive and adaptive analytics to make recommendations and learn from subsequent actions and feedback. With the Veeva Data Science Connector, companies have the flexibility to use the data science technology of their choice or internal solutions quickly and easily. An ecosystem of data science partners – including ZS Associates, Aktana, Axtria, and Zephyr Health – makes it simple to get started.
