How Veeva Align Makes Life Sciences Field Planning Smarter
In the highly regulated and competitive world of life sciences, commercial teams need the right tools to plan and execute effectively. One such solution is Veeva Align, designed to help pharmaceutical and biotech companies streamline field force planning, territory alignment, and roster management while ensuring compliance.
What Is Veeva Align?
Veeva Align is a cloud-based platform from Veeva Systems that simplifies sales territory planning, target assignments, and field team management. By replacing spreadsheets and manual processes, Align enables faster decision-making and seamless alignment across commercial systems. Integrated with Veeva CRM, it provides real-time visibility for sales managers and reps, ensuring all territory or roster updates are instantly reflected across the organization.
Why Traditional Field Planning Falls Short
Many life sciences companies still rely on static spreadsheets or disconnected tools, which can cause delayed territory changes, ambiguity in account ownership, poor coverage visibility, and compliance risks. Misaligned rep-to-HCP relationships may also lead to ineffective targeting and communication. Veeva Align addresses these issues by automating territory and roster management, improving accuracy and efficiency across teams.
Key Features of Veeva Align

Business Benefits of Veeva Align
Implementing Veeva Align results in faster planning cycles, increased field efficiency, improved collaboration, regulatory confidence, and scalability for growth. Reps receive accurate territory data, enabling better call planning, while commercial ops and compliance teams can collaborate transparently with full audit histories.
Real-World Use Case
