Have you experienced late delivery of medical equipment or spoilage of pharmaceutical goods in transit? Delay or damage to supplies in transit can affect people's livelihoods and cost you money. With Cargo Signal's sensors monitoring the location and quality of your goods in real time, you can troubleshoot problem shipments before they result in a loss. 

People depend on the healthcare industry to provide them life-saving procedures and medication. Without the proper care and timely delivery of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, the health and lives of the global community are at risk, and so are business operations. Here are just a few common challenges that the healthcare industry faces without real-time visibility of medical necessities in transit:

• Theft or damage to high-value drugs, chemicals, and medical equipment
• Spoilage of temperature-sensitive, potentially life-saving pharmaceutical product
• Financial loss due to excessive or unused inventory 
• Inability to meet regulatory compliance for data reporting

Smoother operations in the healthcare industry not only saves time and keeps costs low, it saves lives. If you’re unaware of where your shipments are or what condition they’re in, you’re risking financial loss and the health and well-being of many.

Prevent Pharmaceutical Spoilage

Pharmaceuticals in transit may spoil or become prone to damage due to mishandling or extreme weather events, resulting in costly reorders.

If unexpected delays do arise, our Command Center will work to get your shipment to its destination in the timeliest fashion.
