High-precision clinical storage: dedicated inventory and integrated cross-docking

"Decision-making has become faster, and we offer personalized and consultative service."

The client was facing:

• Inventory spread across different operators and geographical locations.
• Risk of logistical disruption due to difficulty in coordinated replenishment.
• High cost of maintaining oversized inventories "as a precaution".
• Lack of a supplier focused on the clinical research segment.

Furthermore, there was a demand for efficient cross-docking: receiving air cargo, repackaging it, and quickly shipping it to multiple destinations.

• Implementation of a dedicated GxP area, with physical and logical segregation by sponsor, protocol, and material type.
• Inventory management systems with traceability by batch, temperature, expiration date, and clinical cost center.
• Creation of a cross-docking flow: cargo received at the airport was taken to the hub, checked, repackaged, documented, labeled, and dispatched in very short windows, reducing dwell time and risk of loss.
• Kit assembly procedures and secondary labeling.
• Stock position reports, materials nearing their expiration date, and movement recommendations - overseen by the Pharmaceutical Transportation team.

• Increased inventory accuracy (100%) and reduced discrepancies in final reconciliations.
• Shorter lead time between order receipt and delivery to research centers, thanks to structured clinical cross-docking combined with warehousing.
• Confidence in having a Quality and Regulatory team assisting you throughout the entire process.
