Neftaly: Procurement Systems for Gene Therapy Supplies in Hospitals

Delivering gene therapy in a hospital setting demands more than clinical excellence—it requires precise, reliable, and compliant procurement systems that can handle the complexity of sourcing, storing, and managing high-value, temperature-sensitive, and highly regulated gene therapy supplies.

At Neftaly, we help hospitals build and optimize procurement systems that are tailored to the unique demands of gene therapy. Our solutions ensure that every vial, vector, and support material arrives safely, on time, and ready for patient use—with full visibility, traceability, and regulatory alignment.

Why Procurement Systems Matter for Gene Therapy

Gene therapies often involve:

• Customized or patient-specific products
• Short lead times and strict delivery windows
• Specialized packaging and cold chain requirements
• High costs and limited supply
• Complex regulatory documentation and tracking

One delay, mismatch, or oversight can result in treatment postponement or wastage of life-changing products. A resilient, well-integrated procurement system is essential.
