Industry 04

Healthcare logistics

Healthcare logistics carries two constraints at once: the cold chain and the regulator. Pharmaceuticals and medical goods must stay within temperature and arrive with a documented, unbroken chain of custody.

The problem

What goes wrong in healthcare supply chains

A broken cold chain destroys the product

Temperature excursions can render a consignment unusable, regardless of whether it arrives on time.

Regulatory approval on top of customs

Drug and health authorities add approvals beyond the standard customs entry — each one a possible delay.

Documentation that has to survive an audit

Chain of custody must be evidenced, not asserted.

  • Cold-chain continuity maintained through the clearance window
