Sourcing and manufacturing logistics

Secure your business continuity with sourcing and manufacturing logistics solutions from World Courier. With increasingly tight temperature control requirements, high value inventory and complex manufacturing processes, partnering with the right logistics provider is critical for on-time market launch.   

Execution without excursions

Our diverse portfolio of temperature control solutions offer increased flexibility for your pharmaceutical supply chain.

Packaging solutions

With a variety of active and passive solutions available in a range of sizes, our temperature control experts help you find the right shipping solution to maintain your product's requirements throughout its journey. That means that for unpredictable, demand-based supply chains, we have the flexibility to ship low-volume, high-value drugs in appropriately-sized containers quickly and efficiently.

Cocoon

Cocoon, our proprietary passive shipping solution, is revolutionizing the transport of pallet-sized shipments. Qualified for 168 hours of temperature stability, Cocoon increases your access to global markets. And since Cocoon was developed by our very own CORE Labs, we are independent from external thermal container contractors—leading to considerable cost savings and flexibility that we pass on to you.

CORE Labs

Through our Climate Optimisation Research and Engineering (CORE) Labs, we provide on-demand qualification data for any solution you need tested—driving decision making and supporting regulatory and GxP compliance. That means you can choose the most cost-effective solution for your transport route, without compromising the safety and efficacy of your product.

Temperature excursions and delays with APIs, safety samples, semi- and finished product shipments result in financial and time costs for manufacturers. But how do you quantify this loss in real terms and what impact does your logistics provider’s performance have on the result?

Commercialization support from Cencora

Cencora’s family of companies delivers unmatched commercialization expertise. Whether leveraging market access and reimbursement support from Xcenda, or wholesale commercialization and distribution support from ICS, our portfolio of services will help increase your speed-to-market and drive your ultimate goal—improving global healthcare.

Cell and Gene Therapy

As more cell and gene therapies move through clinical trials and advance toward a commercial launch, innovators must overcome unprecedented regulatory and logistical challenges. In many cases, this will require redefining established approaches within many areas of commercialization. As the logistics partner in over half of active cell and gene therapy studies, we’ve refined a patient-centric supply chain model that employs extensive contingency planning and communication to ensure unexpected complications don’t impact your deliveries.

Direct to Patient Services

In Australasia, we support patient adherence programs through commercial Direct to Patient services. Employing a patient-centric logistical model, these manufacturer-sponsored programs ease the burden of care by administering life-saving treatments where patients are most comfortable, in close collaboration with home health providers. Our associates leverage monitoring solutions to provide proof upon delivery that environmental requirements were maintained throughout transport, ensuring product safety before administration. 
World Courier quality beyond compliance

Quality beyond compliance

World Courier quality beyond compliance
Quality begins with strict adherence to global GxP standards. But for highly-complex, high-value shipments, there is zero room for deviation or failure. We strive for ‘quality beyond compliance’ at the global level to ensure even greater attention to detail and a single-minded focus on perfection.
