Outsourcing, Under Control

Secure Workflows for Managing CRO and CMO Chemistry Requests

The Kelaroo Synthesis Request System (KSRS) is a sophisticated web-based platform that manages every aspect of the chemical synthesis outsourcing process. It orchestrates requests, quotations, deliverables, and documentation across CRO and CMO partners while delivering significant cost and time savings. With advanced structure and substructure search that aligns with your registration system’s normalization and standardization rules, KSRS keeps chemistry, operations, and procurement working from a single, consistent view of each request. A secure vendor portal enables external partners to submit quotes, updates, and documentation, while centralized IP and agreement tracking helps protect your organization’s most critical assets.

What is KSRS

KSRS is a comprehensive solution for managing synthesis requests, vendor interactions, deliverables, and quotes throughout the outsourcing lifecycle. It streamlines the process from issuing Requests for Quotation (RFQs) to selecting vendors, tracking progress, and accepting final deliverables. Secure vendor access, controlled document sharing, and centralized tracking of IP-related agreements ensure that outsourcing remains efficient, compliant, and aligned with your organization’s governance policies.
