Mitigate the impact of international reference pricing
Navigate the complexities of international reference pricing with LS Genius | IRP, an advanced AI-based software that helps you optimize cross-country and launch sequence strategies.

Build a successful launch & post-launch strategy

In most markets, national pricing authorities determine the prices for pharmaceutical products by considering the price of the product in other countries. This concept of international reference pricing creates a complex web of regional and global pricing interactions, making it difficult to create an optimal launch and post-launch strategy.
LS Genius | IRP combines state-of-the-art artificial intelligence with nearly 40 years of expertise from the world’s leading pricing advisor to enable best-in-class management of international reference pricing.

Determine the best international launch sequence, including ideal launch dates and optimal prices in your relevant countries
Analyze pricing risks for every single product within your portfolio
Assess the post-launch impact of international reference pricing over the entire product lifecycle to make effective, strategic decisions
