GOALS

• Optimize logistics routes and transportation modes to minimize shipment time and reduce the risk of temperature excursions for sensitive biologics
• Improve collaboration and communication with internal stakeholders, such as manufacturing and quality assurance, to ensure seamless handovers and timely delivery of products
• Enhance inventory management by tracking product shelf life and expiration dates in real-time, minimizing waste and optimizing stock levels across the supply chain.

Frustrations

• Dealing with fragmented communication channels and data silos across different logistics partners, leading to coordination challenges and delays
• Difficulty in proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks during transit, such as traffic delays or extreme weather conditions, impacting shipment integrity
• Lack of automated alerts and notifications for temperature deviations or delivery exceptions, resulting in delayed responses and potential product loss.

GOALS

• Maintain strict temperature control throughout the vaccine supply chain, ensuring product efficacy and patient safety by adhering to stringent regulatory requirements
• Implement robust data logging and analysis capabilities to identify trends, assess risk factors, and continuously improve cold chain performance and compliance
• Streamline quality assurance processes by automating documentation, reporting, and audit trails, reducing manual workload and ensuring data integrity for regulatory inspections.

Frustrations

• Lack of real-time visibility into temperature data during transit and storage, leading to concerns about potential product degradation and jeopardizing vaccine efficacy
• Difficulty in demonstrating a clear chain of custody and maintaining comprehensive documentation for regulatory audits, increasing scrutiny and potential compliance issues
• Challenges in integrating data from various sources and systems, hindering comprehensive analysis and identification of areas for improvement in the cold chain.
