Data Retrieval
At Federal Compliance Solutions, we understand the importance of timely and accurate data retrieval for life sciences companies. To ensure seamless data collection, our team has developed custom bots capable of performing automated data retrieval from various sources, including 3PLs, SFTP servers, State Portals, and other websites. These bots enable us to extract data in a consistent and reliable manner, while also adhering to a regular schedule.

This allows life sciences companies to focus on their core business activities while maintaining compliance, knowing that their data is being collected and processed efficiently and effectively by our web-based application and data processing platform.
ETL
At Federal Compliance Solutions, we acknowledge the challenges that life sciences companies face when dealing with diverse data sources, including both paper invoices and electronic data. To overcome these hurdles, we have developed a sophisticated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline capable of transforming disparate data sources into a standardized format.
Our ETL pipeline is designed to handle various types of data input, allowing us to load your data into our data processing platform with minimal intervention from users. To process physical copies of data, we utilize advanced image recognition technology that efficiently extracts information from paper invoices and other documents. This ensures that all data, regardless of its original format, is consistently structured and ready for analysis, reporting, and compliance checks within our platform.
By employing a powerful and adaptable ETL process, we empower life sciences companies to concentrate on their core objectives while trusting that their data is being managed effectively and accurately by our web-based application and data processing platform.
Audit and Compliance Ready
At Federal Compliance Solutions, we understand the critical role that audit and compliance play in the life sciences industry. That’s why we’ve designed our systems to meticulously track and record all changes made to data and business methodologies within our platform.
Our audit-ready systems have the unique ability to regenerate calculation results at a later date, as if the calculations were being performed on the original day they were generated. This retrospective capability ensures that you can maintain a comprehensive audit trail, providing complete transparency and accountability for all data and calculations.
With our web-based application and data processing platform, life sciences companies can have confidence in their compliance readiness, knowing that our systems have been designed to meet the stringent requirements of their industry. This allows you to focus on your core business activities, while we take care of the data management, processing, and compliance aspects.

Our platform employs state-of-the-art secure storage and archiving practices, ensuring that your sensitive information is always protected and available when needed. We use the latest encryption technologies to safeguard data both at rest and in transit, providing peace of mind for our life sciences clients.
To further enhance data security, we store original data in a location that can be securely accessed by our clients, ensuring that you have full control over your information. Moreover, our systems are designed with a single-client configuration, effectively eliminating the risk of mixing data from different clients.
In addition to secure storage, our platform features robust archiving capabilities, allowing for efficient long-term data retention and retrieval.

The process supports various forms of approval, including electronic signatures, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to meet your organization’s specific needs.
By incorporating a robust approval workflow, we guarantee that our customers have the final say on all reports and payments that are submitted or processed.
