Pharmaceutical Transport: Safeguarding Critical Healthcare Products
Transporting pharmaceuticals demands unparalleled precision and care. Unlike standard freight, these sensitive products – from life-saving vaccines to temperature-dependent biologics – face risks like temperature excursions, physical damage, contamination, and regulatory non-compliance. A single failure can compromise efficacy, endanger patient health, and result in significant financial losses and reputational damage. At Friendly Moves, we understand these critical stakes. We specialize in providing secure, reliable, and fully compliant pharmaceutical logistics solutions, ensuring your vital healthcare products reach their destination in perfect condition, every time.

Noch Fragen? Sie sind abgedeckt.
What temperature ranges can Friendly Moves reliably maintain?
We offer validated solutions for a wide spectrum: Controlled Room Temperature (15-25°C), Refrigerated (2-8°C), Frozen (-10°C to -25°C), Deep Frozen (-70°C), and Cryogenic (e.g., liquid nitrogen). We validate packaging for specific durations and conditions.
Are you certified for Good Distribution Practice (GDP)?
Yes. Friendly Moves operates in full compliance with EU GDP guidelines and other relevant international GDP standards. Our processes, training, facilities, and documentation are designed to meet and exceed these requirements. We undergo regular audits.
How do you monitor shipments in real-time?
We utilize advanced telematics devices within our vehicles and data loggers within shipments. These provide continuous GPS location tracking and real-time temperature/humidity data accessible via a secure online portal, with automated alerts for any deviations.
What happens if there is a temperature deviation during transit?
Our system triggers immediate alerts to our 24/7 control center and the designated client contact. Our trained team initiates predefined contingency protocols based on the product specifics and deviation severity, which may include redirecting the shipment, utilizing backup equipment, or informing the client for disposition decisions.
What security measures do you have in place?
Security is paramount. We employ tamper-evident seals, GPS vehicle tracking with geofencing, driver authentication, secure warehousing with access control, and documented chain-of-custody procedures. High-value shipments may include additional covert measures.
Do you provide packaging, or do we need to supply it?
We offer a full service. Friendly Moves can supply, pre-condition, and pack using our validated active and passive temperature-controlled packaging solutions tailored to your shipment's needs. Alternatively, we can handle shipments in client-provided validated packaging.
Can you handle international pharmaceutical shipments?
Absolutely. We specialize in complex international pharma logistics, managing customs clearance (including necessary pharmaceutical licenses and documentation), regulatory compliance across borders, and maintaining the cold chain throughout the multi-modal journey.
How do you ensure your drivers are qualified?
All personnel handling pharmaceuticals undergo rigorous initial and ongoing training covering GDP principles, temperature control awareness, security protocols, hygiene practices, specific handling instructions, and emergency procedures. Training records are meticulously maintained.
What documentation do you provide with each shipment?
You receive a comprehensive pack including a detailed shipment summary, complete temperature monitoring report (graphical and data log), proof of delivery (POD), chain-of-custody records, and copies of relevant transport documentation. All data is securely stored and easily retrievable.
How do you qualify and maintain your cold chain equipment?
All our temperature-controlled vehicles, active containers, and monitoring devices undergo regular calibration, performance qualification (PQ), and preventative maintenance according to strict schedules. Validation reports are available to demonstrate equipment suitability and reliability.
