As the pharmaceutical industry seeks to outsource non-core activities, it creates a great opportunity for innovative solution providers to go beyond basic freight management.

“Outsourcing has been called ‘one of the greatest organizational and industry structure shifts of the century,’ with special influence in the pharma industry, where pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are outsourcing at almost every stage of the value chain,” said Pharma IQ columnist Cristina Falcão.

In her column, “Pharmaceutical Outsourcing, Where Do You Draw The Line?” she highlights the merits outsourcing in pharmaceutical logistics and distribution. “Outsourcing supply chain operations to a third-party logistics [3PL] provider allows pharmaceutical companies to retain competitive advantage and overcome the counterfeiting issue. The outsourced partner must have cold chain management specialists, securing biotech and pharmaceutical companies’ strict regulatory compliance and product control, and concur to supply chain visibility and control,” she said.
