Safety of people, traceability of products and compliance to regulatory requirements are mandatory. At FM Logistic, we go beyond leveraging innovative solutions secured by our long-term healthcare division expertise.
Healthcare logistics
The healthcare sector is going through a period of intense transformation. Manufacturers, research organisations, hospitals and healthcare professionals are facing increasing cost pressures, complexities and risks. The industry is also facing challenges from changing disease target groups, scientific developments and increasingly complex regulations. Because lives are often at stake, pharmaceutical logistics requires services tailored to each need, combining professional discipline, operational excellence and continuous improvement. Getting the right drug or medical device to the right place at the right time safely and in full compliance with the regulation: nothing is more vital than healthcare logistics performance when it comes to providing healthcare professionals with the means to treat their patients.
More than 15 years ago, we considered that healthcare logistics was specific enough to be dealt with by specific expert teams and resources. This is why we have created FM Logistic healthcare division, regrouping our staff and premises specifically dealing with Health operations for Pharmaceutical products and medical devices.
As a leading expert in transport and warehousing logistics, we strive to develop innovative healthcare logistics solutions that help your company be more efficient. Our transportation offices are located in 14 countries and offer dedicated healthcare operations with expertise in health logistics requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. We work closely with our customers, providing sustainable and comprehensive supply chain solutions every day, from units to pallets, packages to truckloads. And for all pharmaceutical distribution networks: wholesalers and pharmaceutical groups, medical device manufacturers, clinics and hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies and patients.
FM Logistic is the provider you can count on to meet the unique challenges of healthcare from end-to-end visibility, omnichannel supply chain and regulatory compliance required by your sensitive products.
