Navigate complex supply chain logistics while protecting sensitive shipments

Shipping and storing specialty and temperature-sensitive medications presents significant challenges, including maintaining precise environmental conditions and ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the journey. These complexities can lead to risks of product degradation and delays, impacting patient safety and satisfaction. 

Cencora addresses these challenges with our advanced storage and transportation solutions, specifically designed for handling sensitive pharmaceuticals. Our facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art climate control systems and rigorous monitoring protocols to preserve product integrity. By leveraging our expertise and global logistics network, we support the safe and efficient transportation of your products, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional patient care without logistical concerns.

  • Retain product quality by minimizing risk of product loss or degradation. Temperature control systems protect product integrity, preventing costly losses and recalls.
  • Increase operational efficiency by outsourcing logistics operations so you can concentrate on core business activities.
  • Products on time and in temperature range means time-sensitive medications are shipped promptly and within required temperature parameters.

Features and services

Transporting temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals involves the challenge of maintaining consistent conditions throughout the shipping journey to prevent product degradation. We employ advanced technologies and real-time monitoring systems to provide precise temperature control from storage to delivery. Our solutions safeguard product integrity, reduce spoilage risk, and support compliance with strict adherence to regulations, providing you peace of mind and helping you deliver the highest quality service to patients.
Pharmaceutical products of different categories and types require distinct handling and storage conditions, making it difficult to adapt logistics efforts to cater to these specific needs. Cencora’s product type-specific logistics solutions are tailored to the unique requirements of each item, whether it's biologics, injectables, or controlled substances. By employing specialized packaging, handling protocols, and transportation methods, we deliver products safely and efficiently, maintaining their intended efficacy and safety profile.
