The Challenge

At a leading global Consumer Health organization, R&D submissions teams depended on Veeva Vault as their core document management system for regulatory submissions. R&D submissions teams were navigating critical questions around efficiency and adoption: how effectively teams were using Veeva Vault, the real impact of configuration changes, where process inefficiencies were hiding, and which improvements could meaningfully accelerate adoption.

The lack of visibility across the R&D submissions ecosystem made it difficult to drive standardization and identify areas for improvement across roles such as Local Regulatory Affairs, Global Regulatory Operations, Compliance Support, Regulatory Project Leads, Global Labelling Managers, Publishing & Archivist, and Business Support.

To gain a unified view of how teams were truly interacting with Veeva Vault, the organization partnered with Soroco.

Scout’s data-driven insights provided clear visibility into how this core workflow system was actually being used—highlighting adoption gaps, the real impact of configuration changes, and hidden process inefficiencies. An unprecedented view into work patterns across applications, capturing how much time was spent on core versus non-core apps, toggling behaviours, and process inefficiencies.

The Findings

Scout revealed significant variation in how teams used their systems:

Nearly 53% of total effort was diverted to non-core tools such as Outlook, Excel, and SharePoint.

Five out of seven teams  spent only ~10% of effort on Veeva Vault.

Toggling from Veeva Vault to other applications was  2–4x higher  than the benchmark average.

The Impact of Configuration Change

In just one month, Scout captured measurable efficiency improvements post Veeva Vault configuration changes:

2–7% reduction

in overall effort

17% increase

in daily Veeva Vault usage

17% reduction

in application toggling

Deep Dive into Two Critical Processes

1. Creation of Records

Each transaction required 18 minutes of effort.

Group 10963

Only 50% followed the golden path varian

Group 10964

17% of transactions were touched across multiple days, leading to 38% potential rework.

2. Uploading Loader Sheets

Over 6,000 requests were analyzed.

Group 10966

Each request took 17 minutes, with 50% showing errors, driving 6% additional rework.

Group 10967
Scout identified >50% optimization potential across these two processes through

Automation

Data consolidation

Input standardization

Rework reduction

For Record Creation, automation and dashboard integration could reduce nearly half the effort. For Loader Sheets, process standardization and automated uploads could save 1,400+ hours—accelerating metadata updates and boosting accuracy.

The Results

Armed with these insights, the Consumer Health organization implemented Scout’s recommendations to strengthen Veeva Vault adoption by integrating:
Group 10970
Regulatory assessment inputs
Group 10968

External trackers

Group 10969
Guidance documents
Group 10971
Automated report generation

With Scout, the organization gained clear visibility into work patterns, continuous improvement opportunities, and cross-functional dependencies.

They stand to unlock 50% optimization across key processes—driving measurable productivity gains, faster project delivery, and sustained Veeva Vault adoption.
