World Courier and Controlant recognized at the 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards APAC

Real-time location monitoring represents a proactive approach to safeguarding life-saving medicines, ensuring shipments are delivered safely, securely, and on time. By providing constant visibility across the supply chain, RTLM is setting new standards for reliability and risk mitigation.

"Being shortlisted for this award illustrates the hard work and dedication of our team and partners," noted Michael Culme-Seymour, Regional Vice President, Asia Pacific, World Courier. "Real-time location and temperature monitoring aids critical medicines in reaching patients when they need them most. While we didn’t win this time, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made and excited for what’s ahead."

A commitment to patient-centric innovation

Every  innovation begins with the patient in mind. Our RTLM solution leverages GPS-enabled devices to provide instant location data to our centralized monitoring platform, enabling rapid interventions to resolve any issues that arise during transit. This proactive approach minimizes risks like shipment misplacement or storage deviations, ensuring medications arrive safely and in optimal condition.

 

Looking ahead: Real-time temperature monitoring

While this award celebrates the success of RTLM, we are already looking to the future. Soon, World Courier will introduce real-time temperature monitoring (RTTM), combining location and temperature data for unmatched cold chain visibility. This enhanced capability will deliver instant temperature data for immediate validation upon arrival, streamlining product release so therapies can reach patients faster.

 

"The journey doesn’t stop here," said Ann Wong, Director - Regional Operation and Solutions Delivery, World Courier. "RTTM represents the next step in our commitment to innovation, enabling even greater risk mitigation and ensuring patients receive life-saving treatments without delay."
As we reflect on this shortlisting, we are reminded of our mission: to innovate for patients and redefine logistics standards. This recognition inspires us to keep pushing boundaries and delivering excellence in pharmaceutical logistics.
