Introduction

Challenge

A global pharmaceutical manufacturer that ships hundreds of containers monthly needed to ensure environmental integrity for cold, flu, and allergy medicines. The company’s international shipping relied on visibility into conditions to prevent efficacy loss and regulatory breaches.

Challenge

Legacy data loggers were non-communicative and dependent on third-party collection after delivery.
 The verification process delayed inventory availability by
up to 4 days and cost the company thousands per shipment.

The Solution

The company adopted System Loco’s BLE environmental sensors paired with LTE gateways. When containers arrived at port, sensors automatically transmitted compliance data to System Loco’s cloud, enabling instant visibility for QA teams.

Results & Impact

Inventory availability improved by three days per shipment. Manual processes were replaced with automated certification workflows, and compliance reporting became immediate and verifiable.
