IQVIA™ (NYSE:IQV) today announced that Zambon, an Italian multinational pharmaceutical and fine-chemical company, has selected Orchestrated Customer Engagement (OCE), IQVIA Technologies’ transformative commercial engagement technology, to maximize customer interactions and to make a real impact within the retail channel.

Zambon will utilize OCE to manage multichannel communication across the commercial teams of its OTC business to provide an enhanced customer journey that leads to more impactful relationships with pharmacists.

OCE removes companies’ vertical silos and enables employees to understand how their colleagues are interacting with customers so they can achieve more effective customer engagement. OCE will allow Zambon to become a stronger player able to offer more customized solutions to its stakeholders within the pharmacy and retail businesses.

"Supporting Global Commercial Excellence, we wanted to provide our reps with the best sales tools to ensure a distinctive customer experience globally. With this new common CRM platform, Zambon will equip each pharmacy rep with selected advanced features, resulting in Customer Excellence along with a distinctive pharmacy experience and a greater impact on customers,” said Luigi Boaretto, Global Head of Commercial Excellence and Strategic Planning. "We’re excited about the native integration offered between sales and marketing. Our teams can now be more efficient and better collaborate as we establish a new paradigm in Customer Experience.”

One of the ways OCE accelerates performance is through its Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) capabilities. AI/ML automates administrative and repetitive tasks, providing an advanced user experience. OCE’s AI/ML engine leverages natural language processing techniques to generate insights based on data. From these insights, OCE gives users real-time recommendations in order to capture every growth opportunity.

"Zambon is a highly innovative company and appreciates that utilizing the right technology is a major driver in achieving critical business outcomes,” said Tal Rosenberg, senior vice president, Global Technology Solutions at IQVIA. "We are thrilled that they are embracing OCE to transition from transactions to experiences –giving their customers the type of engagement they want.”
