So, the typical German administrative tasks involve collecting a lot of data, like annual journals for employees in the project, timesheets, company information such as R&D spending, annual revenue, and more.

This is where Innoscripta comes in. I was looking for someone to handle all the administrative work while supporting us in the first stage of getting approval.

Innoscripta, however, offered to manage the tasks we didn't want to do, and at a fair price. Their pricing model isn't different from others, but their USP and the value they add through their IMS system are enormous for our company.

Therefore, in every part of the project, you have to be careful and control it.
