FIRST 50 ATTENDEES FROM PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES REGISTER FOR FREE!
Already subject to the world’s most heavily regulated development processes, pharmaceutical shippers face additional compliance and logistical challenges in the physical distribution of product. Chain of custody and E-Pedigree are just the start. Time-in-transit and Proof of Delivery (POD) add further complexity to supply chain execution.
Ensuring quality and compliance while optimizing fulfillment and transportation is the prime focus of Agile Network’s Pharmaceutical Industry Luncheon and Panel Discussion: The Right Prescription.
