Break in the Lab.
They Break in Operations.

Parallel projects. Compounding chaos.
We bring structure where it matters.

Every CRO (Contract Research Organization) engagement looks unique, but the operational friction
is always the same, estimating work, managing people, controlling costs, and billing clients accurately
while keeping dozens of projects moving in parallel.

Analytical R&D and Method Development

Formulation Development and Optimization

API Synthesis and Process Chemistry

Stability Studies and Shelf-life Testing

Analytical Validation and QA Support

Regulatory Documentation and Dossier Preparation

Parallel projects. Compounding chaos.
We bring structure where it matters.

Estimation

Without Kytes

  • Proposals built on spreadsheet assumptions
  • No link between estimates and delivery reality
  • Margin erosion starts before kickoff

With Kytes

  • Actuals from past studies feed every new estimate
  • Effort models connect live to project plans
  • Win-rate and margin tracked per client type

Billing

Without Kytes

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

With Kytes

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

Resource Management

Without Kytes

  • No visibility into utilization across studies
  • Specialist bottlenecks found mid-project
  • New bids committed without capacity checks

With Kytes

  • Live utilization across all concurrent projects
  • Skill-based allocation with over-allocation alerts
  • Forward capacity view for confident bidding

Procurement

Without Kytes

  • Material tracking disconnected from project plans
  • Reagent delays cascade before anyone notices
  • No audit trail for procurement decisions

With Kytes

  • Procurement milestones inside the project plan
  • Early alerts when supply risk threatens delivery
  • Full approval and procurement audit trail

Collaboration

Without Kytes

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

With Kytes

  • One workspace for all teams and all studies
  • Traceable handoffs with linked documentation
  • Structured approvals and MoMs captured in-platform

Productivity

Without Kytes

  • Hours lost to status chasing and manual reports
  • Project documents rebuilt from scratch each time
  • Approval loops stall project momentum

With Kytes

  • AI auto-generates charters, WBS, and meeting notes
  • Automated workflows eliminate manual coordination
  • Live dashboards replace weekly status report cycles
