Ferring Pharmaceuticals Case Study

Product launch mailer campaign required complex HIPAA compliant database integration to match personalized product information with prescription rebate discount codes.

To support a highly publicized broadcast and print media product launch, Ferring Pharmaceuticals required a complex, turnkey fulfillment process to provide respondents with product information and individually assigned prescription discount codes. The program was initially launched with another supplier who encountered insurmountable challenges matching respondent contact data provided from a call center with discount codes assigned by a rebate administrator.

Ferring approached ALOM to develop a customized interface to receive and integrate sales information and rebate coding. ALOM supply chain engineers and IT specialists met with Ferring operations staff to understand the objectives and plan a customized turnkey program. Within a matter of days ALOM successfully tested and implemented a technology solution that accurately received and aligned customer and rebate code data.

Next, ALOM customized a print-on-demand, assembly and fulfillment process to expedite personalized product information kit production and shipping while ensuring HIPAA and FDA compliance throughout every stage of the process.

This process included a critical quality assurance step that required go / no go scanning of matching barcodes to verify personalized product information matched correctly with high-value rebate coupon codes that would be redeemable at pharmacies for initial prescription and up to 6 months of refills.

The ALOM process resulted in 100% accuracy and flawless quality.

To further expand the effectiveness of the solution, ALOM developed an opt-out program to include a customized 800# line to assure compliance with federal regulations. As part of the opt-out program, ALOM provided data management and data analytics reporting tools to track and measure campaign effectiveness.
