Shaman

Shaman Authoring

Designed anywhere. Assembled for Veeva.

CLM Builder is Shaman’s CLM assembler. Your agency designs in Figma or InDesign, your medical team works in PowerPoint. CLM Builder turns those files into interactive, Veeva-ready CLM, and every update re-syncs only what changed.

CLM assembler

Assemble, don’t rebuild.

Keep designing where your agency already works. CLM Builder takes the approved files and assembles them into interactive Veeva CLM, in hours rather than months and at a fraction of the cost of HTML development.

  • Import anything — PDFs, PowerPoint, video, audio and 3D models, converted to HTML automatically.
  • Make it interactive — swipe widgets, animations, video and live HTML iframes.
  • Structure it — chapters, slide groups, navigation and auto-generated slide overviews.
  • Personalise it — Brand Stories and Email Baskets per audience; reps build their own MySlide collections on Veeva mobile.
  • Measure it — built-in analytics on how HCPs engage with every slide.

Your design, your tools

Designed outside Shaman, assembled inside it.

However the detail aid is designed, by an agency or in-house, CLM Builder assembles it and exports it Veeva-ready. Nobody has to change tools.

  • From an agency (InDesign) — import the PDF into CLM Builder, add interaction, and export to Veeva-ready HTML. Smart Update re-syncs only what changed.
  • From an agency (Figma) — use the Shaman Figma Plugin to translate and import content into CLM Builder, add interaction, and export to HTML.
  • Internal (PowerPoint) — often medical content: import the PPT into CLM Builder, where Smart Update recognises and updates only the content that changed.
  • Small updates — the agency updates the source file and CLM Builder rebuilds the HTML.

Building a core CLM for many markets, or designing your own? That’s CLM Studio.

Shaman Figma Plugin

From Figma to Veeva-ready CLM, automatically.

The Shaman Figma Plugin connects Figma directly to the Shaman CLM Builder — turning agency designs into interactive HTML CLM for Veeva. No HTML development, no manual exports, no rebuilds.

  • Fast-track MLR — references map automatically as Veeva annotations, ready for review.
  • Automate production — once approved, designs sync to Veeva-ready HTML with navigation and links built automatically.
  • Scale localisation — translate in Figma and spin up local-market versions instantly.
  • No manual handoffs — every revision is a re-sync, not a rebuild.

Your references arrive as Veeva annotations, ready for MLR review. Once approved, your designs become Veeva-ready CLM, with HTML and navigation built automatically.

CLM Studio

A builder purpose-built for CLM.

Not starting from an agency file? CLM Studio is Shaman’s builder for interactive detail aids. Build a core CLM once on your brand design system, then localise it in days for every market.

Edit in place

Edit text, images and layouts directly on your brand design system. Every component, colour and type style stays on-brand.

Dynamic menus

Menus and navigation follow the slides each market selects. An action menu adds home, PI, library and web links.

Interactivity built in

Pop-ups, tabs and reveals, video and branching journeys. Any element can navigate, open an email or fire an event.

Call clickstream

Marketers set tracking on any component. Event IDs, types and answer formats are generated on export, to your standard.

Focus stories

Short, tracked paths of three to six approved slides, so reps make an impact in a brief call.

Localise in days

Auto-translate the full presentation, templates included. References renumber themselves and navigation follows.

In practice

With Shaman, multiple countries could reduce their use of expensive external agencies and prepare content for Veeva CRM efficiently.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Shaman CLM Builder?

CLM Builder is Shaman’s CLM assembler. It turns detail aids designed outside Shaman (an agency PDF from InDesign, a Figma design or an in-house PowerPoint) into interactive, Veeva-ready CLM HTML, with navigation and interaction added and no code.

Can our agency keep designing in Figma or InDesign?

Yes. Agencies keep working in their own tools. InDesign designs come in as a PDF; Figma designs sync through the Shaman Figma Plugin, with references mapped as Veeva annotations ready for MLR review. CLM Builder adds the interaction and exports Veeva-ready HTML.

What happens when the source design changes?

Smart Update recognises what changed and re-syncs only that content. The agency updates the source file and CLM Builder rebuilds the HTML; with the Figma plugin, every revision is a re-sync, not a rebuild.

How is CLM Builder different from CLM Studio?

CLM Builder assembles finished designs from outside Shaman into Veeva CLM, which suits a single market working from an agency file. CLM Studio is the builder purpose-built for CLM: you build a core detail aid on your brand design system, add interaction and call clickstream yourself, and localise it in days for every market.

Do you need to code to build CLM in Shaman?

No. Neither CLM Builder nor CLM Studio needs developers. Marketers assemble, build and adapt interactive detail aids themselves.
