It complements this with a strong biometrics team for biostatistics, programming, and data management, presenting itself as a nimble, expert-led alternative to large, full-service CROs.

Competitive Landscape
Firma competes in the crowded Contract Research Organization (CRO) market, differentiated as a boutique specialist in decentralized trial execution and biometrics. It faces competition from large, full-service CROs (e.g., IQVIA, PPD, Parexel) and other niche DCT-focused service providers. Its key competitive advantages are its focused expertise, flexible FSP model, and established global home visit network.
