The company was looking to cover all transportation legs of the supply chain: • The transport of partially completed pharmaceutical products from manufacturing facilities to processing centers • The shipment of finished products to regional warehouses • The delivery of the finished products to local distributors Although pilferage, hijacking and product tampering were ongoing problems, the containers couldn’t be sealed because the cargo had to be accessible for random checking at government checkpoints.

A leading global pharmaceutical manufacturer was looking for greater visibility across all its shipments in a particular foreign country in an effort to better secure shipments of its sensitive cargo and prevent theft, pilferage and product damage.
At the recommendation of an Ingram Micro reseller, the company implemented an IoT-driven shipment monitoring solution system to substantially improve shipment visibility and the safety and security of its logistics operations.
Sensor technology and AI-enabled alerts and analytics—working in conjunction with a 24/7 manned incident and crisis response center—provide real-time data, alerts and detailed reports. This information is used to flag and assess vehicle violations such as route deviation, unscheduled stops and night driving (when there’s a greater likelihood of accidents or hijacking).
