A flexible solution across Life Sciences Supply Chains

Supply chain challenges vary significantly among different life sciences companies, and their product and process types. The most significant differences are between Medical Technology (MedTech) and Pharmaceuticals (Pharma). Intelligent Supply Chain Solutions for Life Sciences adapts seamlessly to address individual, evolving needs across sectors. Here’s how life sciences solutions vary according to need:

The MedTech industry has faced demand disruptions and supply side shocks, rising global inflation, supply bottlenecks, and geopolitical uncertainty. Customer expectations on cost versus service experience have become polarized, and the industry confronts increasing complexity due to portfolio expansion, global volatility, and stringent regulations.

The Pharma industry witnessed explosive growth during the pandemic, driven by vaccines and COVID-19 therapies. However, Pharma leaders are left with new supply chain challenges in the form of new launch models, complex regulations, post-COVID-19 demand for mental health therapies, COVID-19 vaccine supply and demand effects, retail prescription market volume growth, and ambitious sustainability goals.

Intelligent Supply Chains Solutions for Life Sciences enables all life science leaders to strike a balance among cost, service, and inventory, while prioritizing resilience and sustainability. Intelligent supply chains play a pivotal role in navigating these challenges and achieving desired outcomes of resilience, cost-effectiveness, service excellence, optimized inventory, and long-term sustainability.

Sustainability and resilience for the future

Sustainability continues to gain focus across the globe, and supply chains provide a key target for decarbonization. Fortunately, many of the same tools that help you improve visibility and efficiency also help you – and your suppliers – optimize for energy consumption and reduce unnecessary transportation miles.
