Utilising alternate ground transport options and active system technology to optimise the cold chain
Sponsors and pharmaceutical companies concerned with optimising cost and performance within the distribution chain should consider two often-overlooked strategies when shipping large or bulk shipments.
In this hands-on webinar, Alan Bryan, World Courier’s Regional Operations Director (U.K., Ireland, Middle East and Africa), will discuss the role of ground transport in the modern pharmaceutical distribution mix. In his presentation, Alan will examine the basics of choosing a supplier with appropriately qualified temperature-controlled vehicles as well as the proven connection between strong network support, a solid human resource (driver) policy and quality service outcomes.
Patty Santopadre, Manager of the Active System Department for World Courier Inc. (USA), will lend her expertise to a discussion on the benefits of Active Unit thermal control systems when shipping larger consignments. In her presentation, Patty will outline the types of applications in which these systems are most effective, with a special focus on their use in emerging markets. She will also report on recent innovations and unit options that can help reduce temperature deviations on more demanding cold chain shipments and examine the various shipping challenges that can be overcome through a detailed logistics review.
Be sure to register for this invaluable webinar presented by the industry’s leading transport and logistics provider for global clinical trials.

Alan Bryan, Regional Operations Director (UKIMEA) and a 15-year veteran with World Courier, is also responsible for World Courier Ground in Europe.
Industry focus on constant supply chain improvement has led Alan to seek out practical solutions for complex, remote, high-volume and high-SKU markets and to provide guidance on high profile clinical trials with complex distribution requirements. A recent single-country direct-to-site ground transport for an 85,000-subject, 2,000-site EU vaccine trial, for instance, achieved 100% OTIF delivery performance and a zero temperature-excursion rate.
