Overview
Inventory & Logistics
Take control of inventory from planning through delivery. Align drug supply (manufacturing orders) with real-world demand, track upcoming end of shelf life for supplies, and coordinate shipments across every lane and vendor-so you can move with certainty, not guesswork.

Higher Service Levels
Sites receive exactly what they need, exactly when they need it. Emergencies and shortages become exceptions, not the rule.

Lower Waste
Expiry and overstock risks surface early, giving teams time to rebalance inventory and prevent unnecessary loss.

Reduced Lead Times
Smarter planning with GMP and QP visibility shortens lead times and reduces costly last-minute or premium shipments.

The Gaps That Drive Write-offs and Delays
Supply planning and shipment tracking, quality release of batches often happen in separate systems, slowing down rebalancing and delaying cold chain issue detection. Inventory & Logistics bridges these gaps, connecting plans directly to movements so teams can act before issues disrupt sites.

Limited Shelf-Life Visibility
Lots approaching expiry are difficult to identify across the network, increasing the risk of unnoticed waste.

Ad Hoc Rebalancing
Excess inventory accumulates in one depot while another faces shortage, leading to avoidable write-offs and service gaps.

Unpredictable Lanes
Weather and risk events disrupt routes without advance warning, leaving teams to react instead of preparing.
