LogiPharma will cover supply chain optimization, transportation management, inventory management, security management, cold chain management, supplier-partner relationship management, product launch management, packaging technology, business continuity management, and pedigree compliance. LogiPharma also aims to bring together members of the pharmaceutical supply chain--from manufacturing companies to wholesalers and distributors to boards of pharmacies, government institutions, hospitals (doctors/pharmacists), and drug chain pharmacists.
