Design and Operation of Pharmaceutical Product and Medical Equipment Distribution Centers, and Transportation and Delivery
Achieving both “cost control“ and “quality preservation“ with integrated contract services
We provide integrated contract services, from the transportation and delivery of pharmaceutical products and medical equipment to the design, development and operation of distribution centers. While low-priced pharmaceutical products, such as generic drugs are on the increase, expensive medical products such as regenerative medical products are also emerging, causing bipolarization in the medical industry. In addition, the process of conforming with GDP* means that more importance is placed on ensuring quality logistics services than ever before. We build logistics systems to address this situation, drawing on our experience of more than 20 years in working at medical institutions. We achieve both cost reductions and high-level logistics quality.
*GDP: Good Distribution Practice, the standard for appropriate quality and safety control in the pharmaceutical product distribution process

Center operation using our own systems
We operate centers with a focus on efficiency. We adopt a flexible picking system that can select the optimum picking method for the distribution quantity.
