Healthcare and pharmaceutical industry

Shipping challenges for healthcare and pharmaceutical companies

• Variety of products: Products in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry include a wide variety of products, from medicines and medical devices to pharmaceuticals. These products have different transport requirements, which makes logistics more complex.

• Temperature and humidity sensitivity: Many healthcare products are temperature-sensitive and need to be kept within a certain temperature range during transport and storage. This requires special cooling systems and temperature-sensitive transport.

• Urgency: In some cases, such as emergencies, healthcare and pharmaceutical products need to be delivered as quickly as possible. Logistics must therefore be able to react quickly and flexibly. In addition, due to the often limited shelf life of products during shipping, it must be ensured that the products are delivered quickly and on time.

• Regulatory requirements: Both the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries are highly regulated. Logistics companies must comply with a large number of regulations and standards set by authorities such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA or the EMA (European Medicines Agency) in the EU. This includes requirements for transport and complete documentation as well as the traceability of these products.

• Global supply chains: Healthcare companies ship their products worldwide and have global supply chains. This requires complex logistics that must take into account the different customs regulations and rules for transport from and to different countries. Transparency and control of shipments is a major challenge here.

In general, careful planning, close collaboration with suppliers and subcontractors and the right choice of shipping service are important to ensure safe delivery and compliance with supply chains in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector.
