Valuable statistics to improve transparency of your supply chain
But how do you get the statistics? Why are they important? In interviews, ELPRO customers outlined the value of modern data monitoring systems. Today is not just about collecting temperature data but how it’s used with other logistics, transport and quality information. By putting together the shipment tracking information from the freight forwarders with the temperature records, the graphic starts to have a meaning and tell the story of the transportation route, enabling you to identify the root cause for the excursions, and to determine the corrective and preventive actions, e.g.: changing transport mode, improving packaging solution, warehouse, freight forwarding agent or service.
Let ELPRO take your anxiety away and walk you through the transition, step by step. We can show you what’s possible having a central repository of temperature data. Using the years of experience with large multi-national pharmaceutical companies, we will show you how to identify trends in your supply chain and uncover cost-saving improvements.
Project Management Services:
Alarm Analysis
If your resources are limited, ELPRO can help by receiving alarm notifications, triage reports and determine root cause. If valid alarm, your QA or project manager will be notified to take a final decision. If not valid, due to human error for example, ELPRO can complete an "Assessment Report" in elproVIEWER expediting shipment release. We can then upload report, update the database, generate time of storage report and notify your QA for review.
Report Generation
It is a wasted opportunity if you have all of your shipment’s temperature data, but don’t have the time to run reports to monitor the performance of your temperature controlled supply chain, your logistics partners and CROs. ELPRO can help by acting as the human interface between the liberoMANAGER database and your operations. We can run customer defined regular reports on activities such as: total alarms per lane / or per study / molecule; alarms by carrier or type of packaging; how many ‘open shipments’ to a clinical site or certain study… really any information you have indexed in your liberoMANAGER database. |
