The Problem

Why do life-sciences firms lose margin on every project?

Life-sciences services firms lose margin because regulated work runs long, hours go unrecorded, and the data lives in disconnected tools — so leaders see the overrun only after the period closes.

Protocol changes blow up the budget

An amendment lands, the scope shifts, the team absorbs the extra work — and no one issues a change order. Across the industry, projects average 1.65 contract modifications each, and only 13.1% need none (SPI Research 2025, Table 218). The margin is gone before finance sees it.

Billable hours vanish on regulated work

Coordinators and validation engineers do the work, then reconstruct timesheets days later from memory. About one in five billable hours goes unrecorded under manual time tracking. On a study team, that is revenue you delivered and never invoiced.

Trial data lives in a dozen tools

Project status sits in one system, billing in another, the CRM in a third, the audit trail in a spreadsheet. On-time delivery across professional services has fallen to 73.4%, down from 80.2% in 2021. Stitching the picture together by hand is where the days go.

How Klient PSA Helps

How does Klient PSA fix life-sciences project delivery?

Klient PSA fixes life-sciences delivery by running studies, submissions, and validation projects 100% natively on Salesforce — one platform connects scope, resourcing, time tracking, and billing so every program protects its margin and its audit trail.

Margin and milestones in real time

See budget burn, hours consumed, and projected margin live on every study — so a protocol amendment triggers a change order on day 5, not at quarter close. Each milestone bills the moment it is met.

Catch the overrun in week one, not after the period closes.

One audit trail, on the Salesforce Platform

Projects, time, and billing sit in your Salesforce org under field history and access controls you already validated — Klient PSA supports your audit trail and validated-system controls on Salesforce, with no integration to break. Klient is SOC 2 Type 2 audited.

One database, one login, one security model — not four tools to reconcile.

AI agents handle the coordination

The status agent briefs leadership each morning, the timesheet agent drafts every coordinator's hours, and the scoping agent turns a protocol change into a structured task. Your team runs the science; agents run the admin — and every output waits for a human's approval.

Recover billable hours that quietly disappear under manual entry.
AI Agents

Which AI agents work on life-sciences projects?

Klient PSA ships with nine AI agents and one MCP server, all Salesforce Agentforce agents. For clinical and life-sciences services teams, three carry the delivery load — and every output waits for a human's approval.

S1

SCOPEY1 · Scope & Protocol

Turns a protocol amendment or a plain-language request into a structured scope — why, what, edge cases, and acceptance criteria — then creates a Klient PSA task held for approval. Nothing proceeds until a human signs off, so scope creep has nowhere to hide.

P1

PLANNY1 · Project Status

Reads live Salesforce project health and sends a morning and night brief — what is on track, what is at risk on which study, and what needs a PM's attention today. It reads and reports; it writes nothing, so leadership stops rebuilding context from scratch.

T1

TIMEY1 · Timesheets

Starts from the planned schedule, then layers calendar, email, and activity to draft each coordinator's and engineer's timesheet — recovering billable hours that vanish under manual entry. Review and approve in about 15 seconds; nothing submits without you.

Who It's For

Who uses Klient PSA in life-sciences firms?

Klient PSA is used by the people who run delivery at CROs, medical-device firms, and life-sciences consultancies — the PMO lead who staffs studies, the services executive who owns margin, and the Salesforce admin who keeps it all native.

Primary User
PMO Lead / Project Manager
Runs a dozen concurrent studies and validation projects across sites and sponsors. Needs study health, team utilization, and milestone status without rebuilding it from six tools every Monday.
One dashboard for every study. No more spreadsheet archaeology.
Economic Buyer
VP of Professional Services / COO
Owns delivery margin and predictable revenue across the services book. Currently waits until month-end to learn which programs over-delivered and which milestones slipped.
Real-time margin by study, by sponsor, updated as work happens.
Champion
Salesforce Admin / RevOps
Already owns the Salesforce org and guards its security model. The last thing they want is another disconnected system to validate, sync, and support.
No new platform. Same Salesforce database, same security, same login.
★★★★★

“This is my second company using Klient. The application is great, the support is fantastic, and the feature growth in the last five years is wonderful. The secret sauce, in my opinion, is their Implementation, Customer Success and Support team.”

Common Objections

What do life-sciences leaders ask about Klient PSA?

Is Klient PSA validated or 21 CFR Part 11 certified?

Klient PSA is not sold as a validated system, and it is not 21 CFR Part 11, GxP or HIPAA certified — no PSA can grant those, because validation applies to your implemented system in your environment. Klient PSA runs 100% natively on the Salesforce Platform, so your projects inherit Salesforce field history, audit trail, and access controls that support your own validation and audit work. Klient is SOC 2 Type 2 audited. Bring your validation lead to the demo and we will walk your controls together.

We already run Salesforce. Why add a separate PSA?

Klient PSA is 100% Salesforce-native, so it is not a separate system to integrate — it installs into your existing org and uses the same database, the same logins, and the same security model you already validated. Your clinical, regulatory and CRM data sit in one place instead of syncing across tools. Most teams go live in about three weeks at $39 per user per month.

Can Klient PSA handle a CRO's mix of fixed-fee and milestone billing?

Yes. Klient PSA bills fixed-fee study setups, milestone-based regulatory submissions, time-and-materials validation work, and monthly advisory retainers from one platform, so a single sponsor program can carry several billing models at once. Revenue recognition, change orders, and budget-versus-actual update live on the project, not at month-end close.

How long does Klient PSA take to go live?

Klient PSA goes live in an average of three weeks, compared to three to six months for Certinia, because it installs natively in your existing Salesforce org with no separate platform to stand up. At $39 per user per month, one recovered scope overrun on a single study pays for a year. Klient PSA holds a 4.96 out of 5 rating on the Salesforce AppExchange across 73 reviews.
