Overhaul recently launched a new Cold Chain Quality software solution designed to deliver “unparalleled” risk and quality management for time- and temperature-sensitive cargo, helping ensure optimal conditions throughout the supply chain for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and food and beverage sectors.
The Cold Chain Quality solution leverages real-time global visibility, proactive risk management, and advanced quality control to address the pressing need for reliable cold chain logistics, Overhaul reported. With an estimated 20% of temperature-sensitive products damaged during transit due to supply chain disruptions, this solution helps mitigate significant financial losses and safeguards patient safety in healthcare supply chains.
It integrates seamlessly with existing systems, offering device-agnostic capabilities and comprehensive monitoring features.
“Overhaul’s portfolio includes nine of the top 10 pharma companies globally, underscoring our dedication to the highest supply chain management standards,” Barry Conlon, Overhaul founder and CEO, said in a news release. “Our Cold Chain Quality solution integrates advanced technology and comprehensive monitoring features, including our global control tower operations and live monitoring.
“These capabilities empower clients to protect their valuable cargo and maintain supply chain integrity."
Key features of the Cold Chain Quality solution include:
- Comprehensive monitoring: Real-time, multimodal visibility and shipment tracking ensure faster delivery confirmations and proactive risk management in a unified platform.
- Advanced temperature control: Detailed excursion reports, automated quality checks using QR codes, and incorporating Overhaul’s RiskGPT innovations, the solution uses advanced predictive analytics to identify and mitigate potential risks before they impact the cargo.
- Enhanced security and intervention: Global control tower operations, live monitoring, and law enforcement engagement mitigate theft, spoilage, and other risks.
- Rapid device-agnostic IoT deployment: Overhaul’s IoT Assess & Deploy solution offers device-agnostic capabilities, allowing seamless integration with existing systems and optimizing the deployment of IoT devices for maximum efficiency and accuracy.
- GDP compliance: Fully compliant with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines, ensuring the highest standards in the transportation of pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products.
“We share Overhaul’s vision for advancing product integrity and safety in cold chain logistics,” said Jeffrey Beck, Sanofi’s global quality supply chain head of Americas. “Overhaul’s Cold Chain Quality solution is an exciting step forward, and we are enthusiastic about the potential it holds for the industry’s future.
“Collaborating on such innovations can drive significant improvements in the safe and efficient delivery of temperature-sensitive products.”
