Clinical Supplies Shipping

Overview

The clinical supplies shipping process faces several challenges that can impact the efficiency and outcome of clinical trials. See how you can integrate all clinical supply systems, automate workflows, and deliver a rich user experience to streamline and automate your clinical supplies shipping process.

The planning, requesting, and fulfillment of materials used in clinical trials, including investigational drugs, biologics, devices, diagnostics, and ancillary supplies is a critical process in keeping the clinical supply chain running smoothly.

The clinical supplies shipping process faces several challenges that can impact the efficiency and outcome of clinical trials. These challenges include complexity in the supply chain, unpredictable lead times, inventory stockouts, warehouse capacity bottlenecks and delivery lead times.

Manual work and data entry, with workflows managed with rudimentary tools like Excel, SharePoint and email in conjunction with siloed systems further compound the difficulties faced by clinical operations managers.

From a process perspective, lack of visibility across the clinical supply chain greatly limits the ability to know the status of shipments or discover bottlenecks in the supply chain process and limits the information available to make effective decisions.

Efficient management of clinical supplies is crucial for the success of clinical trials. An efficient supply chain ensures the safe and compliant conduct of clinical trials, as well as reducing the time to market for new drugs.
