In an era where people can make instant cash transfers electronically from their phone and order physical goods to be delivered in hours to their location, there is a portion of the Clinical Supply Chain that seems mired in a staff intensive, manual, reactive business process. That process is evaluating temperature excursions for Clinical Trial material.

Where do the majority of your temperature excursions occur? Why not eliminate them?

Seamless monitoring of direct-to-patient shipments within an end-to-end calculation engine enables a digital release in patient's homes. Site centric technology also allows for a decentralized and proactive approach, reducing waste. Furthermore, digitalizing temperature management end-to-end enables a faster release of products for all types of trials and creates a foundation for successful decentralized drives.

We are glad to announce that we’re exhibiting at the next Clinical Trial Supply Europe conference organized by Arena International.

We are excited to join the 20th Anniversary edition of Clinical Trial Supply East Coast on the 19th and 20th October 2022 in the Sheraton King of Prussia.

We are glad to announce that we're participating in this year's Global Clinical Supply Conference organized by the Global Clinical Supply Group on May 1-4 in San Antonio, Texas.

We are working with pharma and life sciences companies worldwide to drive improvements in their temperature monitoring and drug delivery processes. The foundation of our approach is to ensure the integrity of data and the safety of patients through implementing digital solutions into supply chains.

Temperature excursion management is a prime example of a clinical process that automation can make more efficient. It is currently a highly burdensome activity, where every temperature excursion is evaluated regardless of how minor they are and if they fit well within the excursion budget.

Pharmaceutical supply chains are often defined by a lack of connectivity between tiers, stakeholders and operational islands. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Temperature management is critical when it comes to ensuring patient safety in clinical development, but we continue to use legacy point solutions that require heavy manual processes and duplication of data.

An important lesson of the first two decades of the millennium is that driving business value is often not about simply collecting as much data as you can. Instead, it is about creating systems that turn the data you have into useful insights and distribute them effectively to the people who need them.

We are glad to announce that we’re exhibiting at the next Clinical Trial Supply Europe conference organized by Arena International.

USB data loggers have been an important part of the life science temperature monitoring process for years. They have dramatically improved the safety of the drug distribution process by allowing the accurate measurement of temperature data at set points along the supply journey.

As 2021 draws to a close, we’ve rounded up the most-read stories we’ve published on our blog in the past 12 months – featuring automation, new technologies, data, clinical supply, and pharma logistics.

The effects of the Covid-19 outbreak are escalating daily and is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting hundreds of thousands of people.

Moving to Stockholm’s new innovation and life science cluster in Hagastaden was a conscious choice for us at TSS.

When it comes to global transportation and shipping of drugs, simply knowing where they are is no longer enough. Pharmaceutical organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the safety regulations which go into storage and transportation, i.e. ensuring that every drug which reaches the patient end, is effective and safe for consumption.

For companies in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry, GxP data is a critical element of supply chain best practices. Indeed, there is hardly any requirement, from visibility to synchronized logistics, which does not rely on accessing the right data.

When TSS received the request to support Sandoz, the Novartis generics and biosimilar division, from its client Novartis, a multinational pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, citing their need for urgent support with surveillance of critical shipments related to a COVID-19, the obvious solution was TSS Real-Time Monitoring solution.

Digital temperature monitoring along every step of the pharmaceutical supply chain is quickly becoming the new norm. Government guidelines like the EU’s Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and the guidelines of UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have seen to increased uptake of digital temperature monitoring across the Europe’s pharmaceutical industry.

The question of how to speed up clinical trials is complicated, especially considering that many trial stages simply cannot be rushed in the interest of trial subjects and the general public. However, process improvements can go a long way.

Supply chain digitalization, or rather digital transformation, provides a path to sustainable solutions for many of the challenges in managing the pharmaceutical industry’s supply chain such as compliance, traceability, end-to-end visibility, error-reduction, quality assurance and process efficiencies.

Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.

Are healthcare professionals working at clinical sites across the world satisfied? It might seem like a strange question to ask, but the way we feel can impact our professional performance in important ways. Perhaps the question is not how satisfied Clinical Operations professionals are, but whether they feel their performance is impacted by lots of time-consuming manual processes that could benefit from automation? Are these processes hampering clinical trial performance?

Although clinical trials can cover a huge range of formats, from small academic assessments to global, multi-billion dollar ventures, they all have one thing in common. Their success (or failure) is determined by a consistent approach to data.
