Internal communication for a workforce that is not all in one building.
An employee intranet for a distributed pharmaceutical workforce: internal communication, document access and team resources built for people across field, office and lab roles who rarely sit at the same desk.
Pharmaceutical companies typically have field teams, lab staff, office employees and affiliates in different countries, none of whom experience internal communication the same way. An intranet built only for office desk use underserves most of that workforce.
Internal communication and news, document access organised by team and role, mobile access for field and distributed staff, and integration with your existing internal systems (HR, document management).
Document approval workflows and HR processes stay exactly as your teams already run them — we build the platform those processes and documents live in and are accessed through, integrated with the internal systems you already rely on.
The scope our employee intranet builds have operated within.
What matters most differs by who is actually using it daily. An employee intranet starts there.
What comes up when scoping an internal platform.
Yes, mobile access is built as a core requirement rather than an afterthought. A large share of a typical pharmaceutical workforce, such as field-based sales representatives and medical science liaisons, is not desk-based, so navigation, search, and document access are designed to work fully on a phone, rather than a scaled-down version of desktop.
Yes, integrating with your HR system is typically part of the build. See website integrations for how we connect the intranet to systems your HR and IT teams already use, so employee directories, org charts, and permissions stay in sync rather than being maintained twice.
No, we build the platform those workflows and documents live in. The approval processes themselves, including who signs off on a policy or SOP before it publishes, sit with your existing internal governance; we configure the intranet to support whatever approval chain your organisation already follows.
Yes, structuring global and local content clearly in one place is a common and central requirement for multi-market intranets. An affiliate employee typically sees corporate-wide policies and news alongside their own market’s local announcements and documents, with permissions controlling exactly which local sections each affiliate can view or edit.
An intranet often sits alongside these other builds.
