Challenges in Parcel Shipping for Pharma & Life Sciences
The pharmaceutical and life sciences industry encounters several challenges when it comes to parcel shipping:
1. High Cost of Cold Chain & Specialized Shipping
- Temperature-sensitive shipments require specialized packaging and expedited delivery options, leading to high costs.
- Failure to maintain proper temperature control can result in product spoilage, regulatory violations, and financial losses.
2. Regulatory Compliance & Security
- Strict regulations from agencies like the FDA, EMA, and WHO require stringent shipping protocols.
- Chain of custody tracking is essential for ensuring product integrity and preventing tampering.
- Non-compliance can lead to legal repercussions and reputational damage.
3. Carrier Performance & Reliability
Late deliveries or mishandled shipments can have severe consequences, from disrupting clinical trials to delaying patient treatments.
Limited visibility into carrier performance makes it difficult to enforce service level agreements (SLAs).
4. Supply Chain Disruptions
Global shipping volatility, customs delays, and carrier rate increases create challenges in ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery.
The pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and labor shortages have further stressed supply chains.
5. Lack of Real-Time Data & Cost Control
