Case Study: Healthcare Company cuts shipping costs and improves cold chain visibility with Expeditors

Healthcare Company - Customer Case Study

Healthcare Company needed a more cost-effective cold chain shipping method that could continuously monitor temperature during transit. Their existing supply chain relied on expensive active equipment, offered limited visibility, and forced direct-to-final-customer shipments, making it difficult to control product conditions and meet GDP requirements. Expeditors helped address these challenges with a cold chain solution that included real-time temperature tracking and passive packaging.

Expeditors implemented GPS and forensic tracking to monitor shipments in transit, along with a passive packaging system and consolidation through its temperature-controlled carrier network. This improved visibility, enabled routing through consolidation hubs, and helped maintain temperatures between +2°C and +30°C. As a result, Healthcare Company reduced overall shipping costs by 50% and gained a more environmentally friendly shipping model.
