In the highly regulated and competitive world of life sciences, commercial teams rely on powerful tools like Veeva Align to drive smarter planning and execution. Aligning the right reps with the right healthcare professionals (HCPs) is crucial for better engagement and improved outcomes. That’s where Veeva Align comes in.
Veeva Align is a purpose-built solution that helps pharmaceutical and biotech companies streamline their field force planning, territory alignment, and roster management, all while ensuring compliance.
In this blog, we explore what Veeva Align does, its key features, and how it improves sales operations across the life sciences industry.
What Is Veeva Align?
Veeva Align is a cloud-based tool from Veeva Systems designed to simplify the process of planning sales territories, assigning targets, and managing field teams. It replaces manual work and spreadsheets with one easy system that helps you make faster decisions.
Veeva Align connects seamlessly with Veeva CRM, enabling real-time data synchronization and visibility for sales managers and reps. Whether you're adjusting sales territories, managing rep rosters, or assigning accounts, Align ensures that all changes are reflected across your commercial systems instantly.
Why Traditional Field Planning Falls Short
Many life sciences companies still rely on static spreadsheets or disconnected tools for planning their salesforce structure.
This often leads to:
- Delayed territory changes
- Ambiguity in account ownership and assignments
- Poor visibility into sales coverage
- Inaccuracies in rep-to-HCP relationships, leading to misaligned targeting and communication
- Compliance risks due to manual updates
These challenges not only consume valuable time but can also hinder sales performance and increase compliance risks. Veeva Align addresses these complexities with an automated, scalable solution for territory and roster management, ensuring accuracy and efficiency across the organization.

4. Integration with Veeva CRM
