Science Exchange

Science Exchange is an R&D supplier onboarding and orchestration platform for life-sciences organizations. It connects pharmaceutical, biotech, and research companies with a network of thousands of pre-vetted external research suppliers and centralizes sourcing, contracting, compliance, payment, and spend analytics into a single system that layers on top of existing ERP, procure-to-pay, and identity infrastructure. The platform automates supplier qualification and onboarding (from 50+ hours to roughly 6), executes contracts, processes payments, and reports on R&D spend. Science Exchange exposes a Providers API (with a first-party Ruby client) and a Developer Portal offering RESTful APIs for custom integrations, data export, and workflow automation, alongside SAML SSO and OAuth2/OIDC login. The company is backed by Norwest Venture Partners.

Science Exchange is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Life Sciences, Research and Development, Procurement, and Supplier Management.

Science Exchange’s developer surface includes API reference, engineering blog, support, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.
