Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical trial financial management software helps biotech and pharmaceutical companies track, forecast, and report on the financial aspects of their clinical trials. This includes budgeting, expense tracking, accrual management, cash flow forecasting, and board reporting — all tailored to the unique complexities of clinical development.

Caladan.ai is a financial intelligence platform purpose-built for clinical trials. Our flagship product, TrialCast, is a complex trial budgeting and forecasting engine that replaces fragile spreadsheets with a living financial model — connecting milestones, cash flow, and strategy in real time.

Caladan is built for biotech finance teams — including CFOs, clinical finance managers, and FP&A analysts — who need to plan, forecast, and report on clinical trial budgets with confidence. Whether you're managing a single Phase I trial or a multi-program portfolio, Caladan adapts to your complexity.

ERPs are built for general accounting, not clinical trial complexity. They don't understand CRO contracts, per-patient costs, or milestone-linked forecasting. Spreadsheets offer flexibility but break down with multiple sites, amendments, and CROs. Caladan provides the clinical trial-specific data structures your ERP lacks, while eliminating the manual reconciliation spreadsheets require.

You can start with the modules that address your most pressing needs. Many teams start with AccrualAlign to solve their monthly close pain, then add RunwayMap for cash forecasting. Because all modules share the same data foundation, adding new capabilities is straightforward as your needs evolve.

Caladan connects to your existing ERP systems (like NetSuite or QuickBooks), CRO portals for visit and enrollment data, and can import data from Excel or CSV files. Most implementations are up and running within weeks, not months.

Caladan offers custom pricing based on your trial complexity, number of programs, and organizational needs. We believe pricing should reflect the value delivered, not a one-size-fits-all tier. Contact us for a tailored quote.
