Accent Therapeutics manages compounds across CROs with Xavo
Accent Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company in Lexington, Massachusetts, develops small-molecule cancer therapies targeting RNA modification. Much of its lab work runs through contract research organizations (CROs), so its compound inventory sits at several partner sites.
Since 2019, Accent has used Xavo's cloud-based sample management to keep one inventory of its small-molecule samples across all partners and to handle the sample orders from its scientists. In 2022, Accent upgraded to Xavo R3 to support its growing, distributed operations.
After the upgrade, sample orders take less manual work, and the sample management team is more confident in the speed and accuracy of its workflow.
The full case study describes how Accent Therapeutics keeps track of its compound inventory while working with several CROs.

Questions this case study answers
How do you manage a compound inventory stored at several CROs?
Accent keeps one cloud-based inventory in Xavo for every site. The team no longer reconciles spreadsheets from each partner and can see which compounds are stored where.
How do scientists get the compounds they need?
Scientists request samples in Xavo. The sample management team then fulfils each order with the partner that holds the material. Every request is tracked from order to delivery.
Did the upgrade to Xavo R3 need custom development?
No. Accent's Xavo R3 setup uses standard functionality. The full case study describes the setup and the results for the sample management team.
What the case study covers
The starting point: a growing small-molecule inventory held at several CROs, and why spreadsheets and email stop working when compounds sit with many partners.
The setup: one inventory across all sites, how scientists request compounds, how the sample management team fulfils orders, and how the upgrade to Xavo R3 was configured with standard functionality.
The results: what changed for the sample management team, and what other biotech companies working with CROs can learn from Accent.
