ODAIA – the company behind MAPTUAL, an AI-powered commercial insights SaaS platform for pharmaceutical companies – announced it raised an oversubscribed $25 Million Series B financing round led by Threshold Ventures and co-led by Monograph Capital. And Wittington Ventures also joined with participation from existing investors Flint Capital, BDC Capital’s Women in Technology Venture Fund, StandUp Ventures, and Graphite Ventures.

Through an ability to provide near real-time and predictive perspective on the dynamic changes of the pharmaceutical marketplace, ODAIA’s proprietary platform MAPTUAL empowers leading life science brands to more efficiently get therapeutics, drugs, and vaccines to the markets that need them with a modern data-driven solution.

The global pandemic showcased the critical need to embrace new strategies in data, customer segmentation, and brand experience across pharmaceuticals. And through its impressive predictive technology, ODAIA is unlocking smarter ways for leading life science companies to engage customers and lead to better patient care.

The company counts several of top 20 global pharmaceutical companies as customers and it has grown year-over-year annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2022 by over 646%, ODAIA is transforming pharmaceutical marketing and commercialization with its lead product MAPTUAL.

MAPTUAL

MAPTUAL is known as a SaaS platform that leverages AI to streamline and automate the prospecting, qualifying, and engagement of healthcare providers (HCP), a process that has largely been manual, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. First, brands have been onboarded quickly with data onboarding automation.

Then the AI models analyze data within hours to deliver actionable insights to reps, their managers, and marketers. And insights include a robust understanding of the relevant providers and the patients they are treating, brand and market forecasts, target curation and prioritization for call planning, and an understanding of the most effective channels to reach those targets. But no other platform puts so much information in front of pharma commercial teams so they can make solid data-driven decisions with near-real-time data and insights.

MAPTUAL was engineered for taking the guesswork out of Pharma’s current workflow by unifying commercial teams through digestible and actionable predictive insights. And its two products MAPTUAL Field and MAPTUAL Sphere are built on an easy-to-navigate platform that provides a near-real-time and predictive perspective on a brand and its market;

MAPTUAL Field essentially provides sales reps with a granular view of healthcare providers, allowing pharma sales reps to use robust segments, and prescription data – both historical and predicted – to improve their pre-call planning and spend more time seeing customers rather than analyzing data.

MAPTUAL Sphere enables sales managers to effectively coach their team by discussing territory brand and market dynamics and HCP channel preferences. And marketers are also able to understand the contribution of different channels, by HCP segment, on prescription trends to make a better marketing strategy and execution decisions.
And using MAPTUAL Field and MAPTUAL Sphere together allows for tailored insights to be delivered to the right teams while ensuring consistency in analytics and data sources, and ultimately leading to better and timely patient care.
