Case Study

Adding track and trace for cold chain compliance

What happens if a shipment of temperature-sensitive drugs or cell or gene therapies experiences a temperature excursion in transit? If you had no temperature monitoring, you would have to throw the expensive therapies away. If you did have a passive temperature logger in the shipment, you would have to download the data, analyze it and then determine if the therapy is usable. This quality check process can take hours to days, depending on location, all while the patient is waiting. In the meantime, you are also probably ordering another shipment of the product expedited. There is so much loss in time, resources, costs, and patient health in this type of supply chain.

CSafe Global believes in the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cloud services; there has to be a better way to minimize losses and better meet patient needs. Working with ParkourSC, their specific design Air Cargo track and trace technology, as well as their Parcel and Cell & Gene packaging solutions, were integrated with ParkourSC’s supply chain operational platform to provide track and trace visibility to all their containers and cold chain packaging solutions.

Providing value add to their customers

CSafe Global can now provide full visibility from production to final destination track and track for their customers. They provide real-time temperature, location, and other quality monitoring and can help their customer choose the best methods and carriers for shipping. In addition, their reusable Air Cargo containers can be tracked back to the proper warehouses to be used again, helping their customer meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.

CSafe Global’s new digital transformation has created more customer transparency and improved their cold chain success rates, thereby reducing waste, costs, and time for their customers.
