The problem

The questions every CRO must answer, and how SIMS answers them

These are not technology questions. They are operational questions that determine how effectively a CRO can plan work, allocate resources, manage execution, maintain compliance, and deliver studies with confidence.

The question Before committing to a sponsor timeline, a CRO must know whether facilities, animal resources, equipment and personnel will be available when needed.
How SIMS answers it The master calendar shows committed studies and planned studies still in negotiation against facility, animal and staff capacity, before you sign.

What SIMS changes

From the protocol to decisions, in one connected flow

The protocol is the source of every study activity and every data point. SIMS carries it through the study, so the data the lab collects becomes intelligence the study team can act on.

01 Connect Lab instruments, cage-side observations and assays feed one study record, time-stamped at the source.
02 Manage The digital protocol drives the study calendar, resources and activities across every study in the facility.
03 Understand Group summaries, fold-change and concordance checks show what the data says while the study is running.
04 Detect Treatment-related signals are flagged at subject and endpoint level for the Study Director.
05 Act Findings move into Single Track™ for scientific review, sub-reports, the study report and SEND.
Three ways to start Cost per study; implementation in 4–6 months.
Option 1 Single Track™ on your existing LIMS or spreadsheet data, for reports and SEND. Explore Single Track™ →
Option 2 SIMS for study operations, data collection and monitoring.
Option 3 Both together on one Master Data Repository.
The differentiator · concordance and signal detection

SIMS goes beyond collecting study data. Single Track™ turns it into decision support for the Study Director

Single Track™ identifies treatment-relatedness at subject and endpoint level by dose and time, tests concordance with 55 checks, and rolls findings up to reportable endpoints.

Output Final report & SEND Report / SEND interlock from one record
Traceability As-collected data, study report and SEND datasets come from one data stream, consistent with the traceability expectations in FDA's Technical Conformance Guide v6.2 (June 2026).

Automation assists with decision support, but does not replace the Study Director's judgment. Decisions on treatment-relatedness, adversity and study conclusions remain with the study team.

How it works

The detail behind the outcomes

How SIMS works

SIMS and Single Track™, built on one Master Data Repository

SIMS plans and runs each study and collects its data into one repository. Single Track™ reads that repository to compute signals and draft sub-reports, the study report and SEND. Both work from the same SOPs, templates, rules and checks. Select any block to see what it does.

What changes for a CRO

What the study team gets after adopting SIMS

Greater visibility Every study, room, resource and activity in one view, updated as the work is done.
Better operational decisions Know what capacity is free before committing to a sponsor timeline.
Less manual coordination Schedules, tasks and data move through SIMS instead of email and spreadsheets.
3–4 weeks Faster study execution Data is ready for review as it is collected, and reporting starts from the same record. Study report and SEND arrive 3–4 weeks sooner with Single Track™.
Connected study information Information is created once and reused from planning through reporting and SEND.

Analytics

Operational and study analytics from one record

Because planning, study conduct and study data sit in one system, SIMS reports on both the operation and the science without exports or spreadsheets. Thresholds and rules come from the Master Data Repository, so every study is measured the same way.

SIMS → Single Track™

Reduce time to study report by 3–4 weeks

SIMS supports the study operational layer. Single Track™ extends the connected study record into scientific review, reporting and SEND. Because SIMS already holds the complete, integrated study record, Single Track™ can analyze it and draft the report without a separate data integration step. Conventionally, the study report follows 4–6 weeks after histopathology and sub-reports, and a SEND team adds another 4–5 weeks. Single Track™ automates analysis and report drafting, and generates SEND from the same record when needed.

Implementation

From where you are today to running on SIMS in 4–6 months

Implementation starts from your existing SOPs, facilities and instruments. The PointCross team converts them into SIMS master data, connects your lab, and runs a pilot study with your team before go-live.

Where you are todayWith SIMS
SOPs held as documents that staff interpret → SOPs converted into activities that are scheduled, captured and checked
Facilities, rooms and equipment tracked in separate lists → One master list of facilities, rooms, equipment and instruments
Protocols written in documents, then re-keyed into schedules → Digital protocol templates that generate the schedule of activities
Paper forms and spreadsheets at the cage-side → Tablet forms driven by the study calendar
Instruments feeding a LIMS or standalone files → Instruments connected through the Lab Integrator Gateway
Capacity checked through email and meetings → A master calendar of committed and planned studies
What implementation looks like Go-live window, months 4–6
