What medical distributors deal with
Many items, frequent orders
Pharmacies and hospitals order small quantities several times a day.
Expiry
Medicines that expire are written off, so stock has to move in the right order.
Handling conditions
Temperature and time windows limit how routes can be built.
Rules that change
A change in reimbursement or vaccination rules changes demand and the network overnight.
What we solve as consultants
Warehouse processes
Layout, slotting and picking for high order counts and small order lines.
