Workflow Automation

Faro's Workflow Automation is a digital platform designed to help clinical teams eliminate manual steps, reduce rework, and accelerate study start-up by connecting protocol design directly to downstream clinical workflows. Built for life sciences organizations managing complex clinical trials, Faro bridges the gap between study design and execution — enabling teams to move from concept to study start-up faster and with greater consistency.

By digitizing and standardizing protocol definitions, Faro enables connectivity across the full development lifecycle, from EDC builds and site budgets to custom integrations with internal and external systems. Clinical teams can accelerate study startup by up to 8 weeks or more using Faro's automation capabilities.

Standardization Capabilities

• Connect existing Veeva EDC eCRF standards libraries directly to Faro Study Designer to accelerate EDC builds.
• Leverage Faro's configurable biomedical concept library alongside existing organizational standards to streamline workflows.
• Digitize and standardize protocols using Faro's Study Designer or by importing existing protocol documents.

Integration and Connectivity

• Connect Faro directly to downstream internal processes or external systems via API or USDM JSON.
• Use digital study definitions as the foundation for broader automation across the organization.
• Leverage Faro's APIs to build custom automations or integrate with additional systems beyond out-of-the-box connections.

Workflow Acceleration Features

• One-click push to Veeva EDC, mapping directly to eCRF standards libraries and sending the study schedule directly to EDC.
• Speed up EDC study builds by weeks through automated data flow from protocol design to execution.
• Generate site budgets in minutes using Faro's cost data combined with internal organizational templates.
• Access Faro's team of experienced technical experts to help create custom automation workflows for unique use cases.

Key Workflow Steps

1. Digitize and standardize protocols using Study Designer or by importing existing protocols.
2. Map directly to eCRF standards libraries and push the study schedule to EDC with a single click.
3. Draft site budgets in minutes using configurable budget automation tools.
4. Build and deploy custom integrations using Faro's API to connect additional downstream systems.

Faro's Workflow Automation integrates with Veeva EDC and supports USDM JSON for interoperability with external systems. The platform also complements other Faro solutions, including Study Design for protocol optimization and Document Authoring for generating ICH M11 compliant protocol drafts, providing an end-to-end digital environment for clinical development teams.
