World Courier and Controlant shortlisted for 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards

World Courier has been shortlisted for the 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards. This recognition celebrates the success of our live location monitoring technology which has set a new benchmark in pharmaceutical logistics by enabling near-continuous oversight  and control throughout the supply chain.

Our tracking technology solution takes a proactive approach to safeguarding patient health by helping prevent delays before they start and ensuring medicines arrive safely, securely, and on time. With this innovation, we're redefining what's possible in specialty logistics.

"We believe every moment matters in the journey from pick-up to patient," said Laurent Bendavid, President, World Courier. "Live monitoring isn't just about visibility — it's about stopping delays before they start, ensuring peace of mind for our customers, and, most importantly, delivering critical medicines to patients when they need them most."

A step forward in supply chain excellence

World Courier's RTLM solution uses cellular connectivity to transmit instant location data to our 24/7 operations hub. This allows our teams to validate shipment progress and respond to any disruptions, ensuring shipments stay on track.

By working with partners like Controlant to integrate cutting-edge technology into our operations, we drive reliability and transparency in life science logistics. Patients receive life-changing treatments without delay and it reaffirms a commitment to pushing industry boundaries.

Patients drive every innovation

At World Courier, every decision we make is driven by the needs of patients. The power of RTLM lies in its ability to significantly reduce risks like shipment misplacement or storage deviations, ensuring the integrity of medicines that can transform or save lives.

"The importance of real-time data cannot be overstated," said Hristo Petkov, SVP Sales, Controlant. "Our devices provide the data that allows World Courier to act before issues arise, ensuring therapies are delivered safely and on time. That's the ultimate goal: making sure patients never have to wait for the treatments they rely on."

Looking ahead to a new era of live monitoring

In the coming months, World Courier will expand its instant tracking capabilities to include real-time temperature monitoring (RTTM). This next phase of innovation will combine temperature and location data to provide even greater visibility while reducing reliance on single-use trackers for enhanced sustainability.

"Our partnership with World Courier highlights the transformative power of technology in the pharma industry," said Martin Mularski, Director of Customer Success, Controlant. "Controlant's innovation and collaboration have been instrumental in creating a solution that prioritizes patients at every step. Together, we're setting new standards for visibility, reliability, and proactive risk management."
