Digital platform offers supply chain visibility

Temperature-controlled container specialist CSafe Global has tapped digital is joining with supply-chain technology firm Cloudleaf to partner on a digital visibility platform to support its track-and-trace technology. The newly created platform reportedly will provide around-the-clock data access to enable customers to protect their medicines and make informed decisions.

CSafe reportedly has been developing and implementing track-and-trace solutions into their Air Cargo container fleet for approximately two years. The team sought a software partner to help customize a digital platform, with the ability to integrate multiple tracking devices for full visibility for customers.

Tom Weir, COO of CSafe, told Outsourcing-Pharma, “Our team worked tirelessly to evaluate and select the right partner for our new track and trace product offering. The team researched various different digital supply chain software companies and scored each company’s ability to fit our requirements​.”

Mahesh Veerina, president and CEO of Cloudleaf, told OSP solutions like these can help pharma companies avoid costly losses associated with medicines falling outside of acceptable ranges.

Avoiding costly losses

The biopharma industry loses close to $35b every year due to failures in temperature-controlled logistics; these losses can be attributed to substandard practices surrounding transporting and storing temperature-sensitive products such as vaccines, blood, tissue, and pharmaceutical drugs​,” he said. “The $35b figure includes lost product, clinical trial loss and replacement costs, as well as logistics costs​.”
