PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR LOGISTICS

For the pharmaceutical sector, BSB Logistica takes care of storing and distributing products and medicines while respecting the requirements of the supply chain.

In particular, logistics services for the pharmaceutical sector are divided as follows:

• Receiving the vehicle
• Unloading goods (both on pallets and in packages)
• Qualitative check on the packaging condition
• Quantitative check with respect to the incoming delivery note
• Storing goods in suitable facilities (such as vertical warehouses) and temperature-controlled areas
• Preparing picking lists sent by the customer
• Picking goods based on batch and expiry date (FEFO concept: First Expired, First Out)
• Interfacing with the Ministry of Health
• Handling the outgoing delivery note received from the customer, completing any CMR for shipments abroad and handling the waybill for the courier
• Loading goods onto the outgoing vehicle

All these phases (receipt, storage, picking and shipping) can be supported by an Information System (WMS, Warehouse Management System) that tracks all inbound and outbound movements of goods in the warehouse and provides timely and accurate information on warehouse stocks.

The WMS can be interfaced with the Customer’s Information System (ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning) to allow the parties to coordinate fundamental information for logistics (items, quantity, sender, recipient, carrier used, etc.).
