Built by Clinical Operations Veterans. Focused on Solving What Slows Trials Down.
InnovoCommerce was founded by the team that founded and built Argus Safety, the industry standard for pharmacovigilance. That is more than two decades spent inside the highest-stakes problems in clinical research, and it is why we do not just build software. We engineer solutions to the specific friction points that slow modern trial execution.
Clinical Development Faces a Growing Execution Gap
Our mission is to eliminate that gap through precision-engineered workflows and real-time, actionable intelligence. We focus on the highest-friction areas of clinical development, including study startup, Risk-Based Monitoring, site activation, patient enrollment, and data integrity, to help sponsors and CROs accelerate study execution with greater consistency and confidence.
The complexity of modern protocols is outstripping the capacity of legacy systems. Organizations are struggling to bridge the gap between scientific ambition and operational reality.

Sachil has built eClinical software and AI at InnovoCommerce that have supported more than 800 global trials for sponsors and CROs. As Chief Product & Technology Officer, he owns end-to-end AI product vision and development. His approach unifies disconnected clinical context and deploys an AI orchestration layer across the study lifecycle.
A UC Berkeley graduate with a focus on artificial intelligence, Sachil pairs that foundation with direct immersion in clinical operations and delivers solutions that meet clinical teams where they work and extend what they can do. His scope has scaled with the product: beyond architecture and roadmap, he owns the clinical user experience, drives go-to-market strategy, and speaks regularly at industry conferences on optimal practices to adopt AI reliably in clinical studies.
He combines precision in building AI with fluency in how clinical teams operate, turning technical depth into solutions that drive real outcomes.
