SOMS
Integrated clinical trial management, data capture, document management, payments, and participant engagement for research sites.
Overview
RealTime SOMS (Site Operations Management System) is a bundled suite of integrated solutions developed by RealTime eClinical, designed to streamline all aspects of clinical research operations. Built for research sites and site organizations, SOMS combines several industry-leading tools into a single, unified platform that empowers teams at every stage of the research process — from participant recruitment through to financial tracking and regulatory compliance.
By consolidating core clinical trial functions under one system, SOMS eliminates the need for multiple logins, manual data syncing, and fragmented workflows. The result is a cohesive research operations environment that improves efficiency, communication, and accountability across the entire research enterprise.
