Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization

Running a CDMO Is Operationally Complex.
Managing It Shouldn’t Be.

Different molecule. Same firefighting.

Every program looks unique, but the operational friction is always the same, estimating development costs,
managing GMP resources, controlling batch expenditures, and billing clients accurately while keeping dozens
of programs moving through development and manufacturing in parallel.

Process Development and Scale-up

API and Drug Product Manufacturing

Tech Transfer and Technology Licensing

Clinical and Commercial Batch Production

Analytical Method Development and Validation

Regulatory Submissions and CMC Documentation

From Challenge to In-control for Every CDMO

Estimation

Without Kytes

  • Proposals built on spreadsheet assumptions and guessed batch costs
  • No link between development estimates and manufacturing actuals
  • Margin erosion starts before program kickoff

With Kytes

  • Actuals from past programs feed every new estimate
  • Effort models connect live to program and batch plans
  • Win-rate and margin tracked per client and product type

Billing

Without Kytes

  • Billable development hours and batch costs missed or approved too late
  • Manual reconciliation every billing cycle
  • Invoice delays strain client relationships

With Kytes

  • Milestone-linked auto-invoice generation
  • Timesheets and batch costs flow directly into billing workflows
  • Real-time P&L visibility per program and client

Resource Management

Without Kytes

  • No visibility into utilization across development and manufacturing programs
  • GMP resource bottlenecks found mid-batch
  • New campaigns committed without capacity checks

With Kytes

  • Live utilization across all concurrent programs and campaigns
  • Skill and GMP-qualification-based allocation with over-allocation alerts
  • Forward capacity view for confident bidding and scheduling

Procurement

Without Kytes

  • Material tracking disconnected from program and batch plans
  • Starting material delays cascade before anyone notices
  • No audit trail for procurement decisions

With Kytes

  • Procurement milestones inside the program plan
  • Early alerts when supply risk threatens batch schedules
  • Full approval and procurement audit trail

Collaboration

Without Kytes

  • Scientists, engineers, QA, and PMs working from different systems
  • Client updates rely on manual status calls
  • Batch decisions undocumented, context lost in email

With Kytes

  • One workspace for all teams, all programs, and all sites
  • Traceable handoffs with linked batch documentation
  • Structured approvals and MoMs captured in-platform

Productivity

Without Kytes

  • Hours lost to batch status chasing and manual client reports
  • Program documents rebuilt from scratch each time
  • GMP approval loops stall batch release momentum

With Kytes

  • AI auto-generates charters, WBS, tech transfer plans, and batch summaries
  • Automated workflows eliminate manual coordination
  • Live dashboards replace weekly status report cycles

From prediction to prevention, Kytes AI stays ahead of your operations

Kytes AI maps directly to the six operational challenge areas where CDMOs lose control. At each stage, it moves your team from reactive to anticipatory.

Proposal Accuracy

Historical actuals replace spreadsheet guesses across effort, batch cost, and material spend

Billing Cycle Time

Milestone-linked auto-invoicing eliminates manual month-end reconciliation

Program Setup Time

AI-generated charters, WBS, and tech transfer plans replace manual document creation

Resource Conflicts

Forward capacity forecasts surface GMP over-allocation before programs are affected

Near-Zero Missed Billables

AI continuously scans for approved work not yet linked to an invoice or milestone
