3 Factors to Consider When Moving Temp-Controlled Pharma
19 July 2021 - When handling temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, it’s important that nothing is left to chance. You not only need to find a transparent forwarder that you can trust, but also need to be reassured that said team has experience in moving such speciality cargo.
Having handled similar projects throughout their career, our Röhlig HYDERABAD team were recently called upon to assist a customer with a time-sensitive pharmaceuticals shipment. The Hyderabad team was able to quickly implement their tailored action plan revolving around 3 key factors:
1. No Room For Error
2. Lane Risk-Assessment
3. Full Control and Visibility
1. No room for error when transporting temp-controlled pharma
There can be no room for error where temp-controlled pharma is concerned. Should temperatures rise or delays occur, the entire batch could be rendered unusable. To mitigate this risk, our Röhlig Hyderabad team ensured the cargo was delivered to its destination in Poland via cold-chain Air Freight. Thermal cover protection was provided and the team oversaw the movement of the cargo from factory to airport.
At the airport, the temp-controlled pharma was loaded into Envirotainer RAP T2 containers ensuring temperatures remained between 2 and 8°C throughout the journey despite crossing continents and climates.
2. Lane risk-assessment for temp-controlled pharma
In order to keep the customer fully informed of the associated risks during the transit of the temp-controlled pharma, the Röhlig Hyderabad team provided a full lane risk assessment detailing agreed temperatures, deadlines for delivery and shipment information.
3. Full control and visibility for the customer
We know that customers want facts when it comes to the safety of their cargo, not empty promises. Our Röhlig Hyderabad team ensured they oversaw operations all the way from supplier to destination in Poland. Full control of this process enhances our ability to keep our customer informed of any and all developments. What's more, Röhlig customers can also access information about their shipment via our online tracking platform, Röhlig Real Time.
The team also utilised their strong relationships with a trusted and well-known global carrier to avoid delays during this time-critical project.
Equipped with full sense of understanding and accountability surrounding special cargo and storage equipment, the team ensured the temp-controlled pharma reached its destination within the agreed window of 72 hours.
