Verrica Pharmaceuticals, a dermatology-focused life sciences company, needed a better way to manage its Speaker Bureau programs. Facing challenges in regulatory compliance, event coordination, and administrative burden.

Verrica needed more than just a software tool—they needed a true partner who could understand their unique workflows, organizational culture, and deliver a tailored, end-to-end solution that fit seamlessly into their existing operations.

After evaluating multiple vendors, Verrica Pharmaceuticals chose ZHM for its intuitive, easy-to-use Speaker Bureau platform, Zvent.ai. ZHM stood out for its deep expertise in life sciences and its ability to deliver a customized solution aligned with Verrica’s workflows and needs. 

The Challenge

Verrica Pharmaceuticals was experiencing:

• Disjointed Event Management: Manual scheduling, fragmented workflows, and delayed reconciliations were leading to errors, time loss, and disorganization.
• Risk of Non-Compliance: Meeting Sunshine Act and Open Payments requirements meant extensive manual tracking and left room for error and liability.
• Low HCP Engagement: Without structured event formats and performance analytics, healthcare professional (HCP) engagement and event outcomes were suboptimal.
• Lack of Customization: Most existing platforms were too rigid, lacking the flexibility to accommodate Verrica’s specific operational needs, speaker tiers, and approval workflows

ZHM delivered a fully tailored Speaker Bureau management solution through Zvent.ai, a secure, cloud-based platform supported by a dedicated execution team.
