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.

A UC Berkeley graduate with a focus on artificial intelligence, Sachil paired that foundation with direct immersion in clinical operations, building solutions that meet clinical teams where they work. He speaks regularly at industry conferences on how to adopt AI reliably in clinical studies.
Amit Athalye, PhD
Chief Compliance Officer
Amit has been a founding member of multiple companies and helped build the operational backbone of each. Before that, he spent years inside the medical device industry helping to bring patient monitors, ophthalmology equipment, and heart valves through development and into the field.
At Commerce Velocity, where he was a founding member and Chief Strategy Officer, Amit built a rules-based automated underwriting engine for subprime lending — AI as it was practiced years before large language models became the industry standard — along with point-of-sale solutions and NPV-based risk models.
Today, as Chief Compliance Officer at InnovoCommerce, Amit oversees compliance, regulatory, quality, and AI infrastructure across the company's full product line. He holds a PhD in Engineering from Washington State University and brings a rare combination of technical depth and regulatory judgment to every product InnovoCommerce builds.
