Cencora solution

Warehouse management systems

Optimize storage, streamline fulfilment, and scale globally with third-party logistics (3PL) systems tailored to your needs.

Warehouse infrastructure that powers better health outcomes

Pharmaceutical manufacturers face a complex storage landscape: highly regulated environments, fluctuating demand, and temperature-sensitive products that require precision handling. Our warehouse management systems (WMS) are designed to support the unique challenges of healthcare logistics — from ambient and cold-chain storage to specialty product traceability and real-time visibility across regions. With decades of experience in third-party logistics, Cencora offers systems that integrate physical infrastructure, regulatory excellence, and digital intelligence. Whether you are launching a new therapy or scaling commercial operations, we help ensure product integrity and distribution efficiency from day one.

Specialist facilities for healthcare and life sciences

GDP/GMP-aligned warehouses worldwide, including ambient, refrigerated, frozen and ultra-low temperature storage environments.

Integrated, global visibility

Inventory data is consolidated through centralized WMS platforms, giving you real-time access to stock levels, order status, and audit trails.

Optimized storage and throughput

From smart racking to automated replenishment and barcode scanning, our tech-enabled infrastructure maximizes efficiency.

Flexible capacity and scalability

Whether you need temporary overflow capacity or a long-term fulfilment hub, we tailor warehouse services to your product lifecycle and market needs.

Full integration with last-mile delivery partners

Our warehouse network connects seamlessly with downstream distribution vendors and transport services, supporting end-to-end chain-of-custody and service continuity.

Tailored to your products. Backed by data.

Our WMS solutions adapt to the nuances of your product portfolio. From controlled substances and oncology drugs to diagnostic kits and surgical equipment, we manage storage based on product profiles — including SKU characteristics (such as size, format, and handling needs), temperature requirements, shelf-life sensitivity, and labeling requirements.

Every client is different. That’s why we analyze your order profile before allocating warehouse space — ensuring you are matched to the right automation setup for optimal efficiency. And with system integration through our secure data gateway, your internal systems (like enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms) connect directly to ours, enabling paperless, automated order flows that reduce risk and manual workload. 

Smarter warehouse management with continuous improvement built in

We do not just operate warehouses — we optimize them. Our teams constantly refine workflows based on performance data and client feedback. From onboarding and training to inventory accuracy and return handling, our processes are built around continuous improvement and operational excellence.

We also invest in advanced analytics and electronic quality management systems (eQMS) to uncover opportunities for smarter operations. It’s all part of our commitment to helping healthcare clients reduce risk, improve service quality, and stay ahead of growing demand.
