With experience of shipping to over 110 countries globally, we can offer expert guidance on the drug shipment process at the start of each protocol.
Challenges that can compromise product integrity and negatively impact every aspect of your clinical trial operation.
But your product’s journey doesn’t end here and neither do the challenges. Risk evolves yet remains present throughout the clinical storage and distribution phases and warrants careful planning, state of the art GMP compliant facilities in key global markets, innovative technology, continuous monitoring, and expert management.
An integrated approach
To realise robust clinical storage practices, you need access to global facilities that are monitored by building management systems to maintain exact environmental conditions. You need access to GMP compliant warehouses that can accommodate your product’s exact temperature-controlled storage conditions. You need bulletproof processes, assisted by smart technology, that allow for full tracking of your material lot from receipt through to production and dispatch.
And when it comes to effective clinical distribution, you also need access to a strategically positioned global depot network, tempered with local insight, and understanding of country-specific regulation. You need a strong, temperature-controlled shipping strategy. You need an integrated approach, encompassing shippers and monitors, courier management processes and online decision-making tools.
Because you need this to succeed, and because we care about your success, we’ve harnessed over 25 years’ experience managing thousands of clinical programs worldwide to develop our robust clinical storage and distribution offering.

Supplying with care…
Anthony Mistretta
Associate Director of Distribution
“There’s an awful lot that goes on behind the scenes to ensure the right patient receives the right drug, at the right time and temperature.
Where distribution is concerned, large teams of people have to pull together as one to generate the necessary import/export paperwork, pick and pack shipments for patients all over the world, and maintain end-to-end visibility. It isn’t an easy job but it’s an incredibly important and rewarding one. That’s why I supply with care.”
