Veeva, Showpad or both?

Should you use Veeva, Showpad or both? Content management and sales enablement platforms for life sciences / healthcare / B2B

Veeva and Showpad are two well-known solutions for content management and sales enablement. Each of these platforms supports different aspects of content development / approval and sales and marketing processes.

Veeva offers a suite of software solutions for companies in the life sciences industry. Its products, such as Veeva CRM and Veeva Vault, are highly specialized and designed to help life sciences companies manage regulatory compliance, their customer data, content, and relationships more effectively and efficiently. Veeva has built a strong reputation in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, with a customer base that includes many of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies.

Showpad’s sales enablement platform can be used across various industries, including life sciences. It allows sales and marketing teams to easily access, manage, and share content, track its performance, and optimize the sales process. Showpad's focus is on enhancing the sales experience and empowering reps with the right content and training at the right time.

Many organizations use the Veeva and Showpad platforms together, combining them into a comprehensive solution that covers content development, approval processes and sales enablement.

Living Stone is a partner for both Veeva and Showpad. We support our clients with a wide range of programs designed for the Veeva and Showpad platforms. For example, for Cerus, a biomedical products company focused on blood transfusion, we translated the content from an international symposium into a meaningful tool for broader post-symposium use, based on Showpad. We bundled a mix of audio-visual and written materials in one app, containing the speakers’ key messages and additional background materials. You can read more in our reference case here.


At Living Stone, we focus on today's marketing trends and tomorrow's developments.

Showpad CEO Hendrik Isebaert shares insights on the changing world of B2B sales in interview with Alex Moyle We recently watched a webinar with Alex Moyle over at The Growth Hub, where Moyle interviewed Showpad CEO Hendrik Isebaert on how the world of B2B selling has changed in the last three years. In this blogpost, we share some of the insights we found really interesting from the interview, starting with one of the biggest shifts – the point in the buyer’s journey where prospects now reach out to sales reps. “What we find is that 60% of the buying cycle has already taken place before the first interaction with the buyer,” says Hendrik Isebaert. In the interview, Isebaert talks about two major changes in particular: the expanded access that buyers have to information, and the trend to larger decision-making units.
