Healthcare and Pharmaceutical

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industry is a highly-regulated sector that demands secure yet efficient supply chain operations. Complex supply chains include manufacturers of medicines and medical devices, compounding pharmacies,  healthcare product distributors, buying groups, large chain retailers, institutional customers, and mail-order operations.

Given the complexity of these supply chains, the number of participants, the high value of the goods, and the regulatory environment, supply chain design, monitoring, execution, and visibility are key factors to success.
