PHARMA 3PL
Outsource the warehouse activities your supply chain needs. From additional pallet capacity to a broader pharmaceutical 3PL operation, the Cheb site supports Germany-bound projects with defined responsibilities, data flows and measurable service levels.
AT A GLANCE
Pharmaceutical third-party logistics brings contracted storage, inventory control, fulfilment and distribution activities into an agreed operational and quality model. Explore pharmaceutical warehousing for Germany →
The 3PL scope can cover receipt, storage, inventory management, picking, packing, returns and transport coordination. Modules are selected against the product profile and authorised activities. A clearly bounded storage project can be assessed alongside a larger outsourced operation. The 20,000-pallet-position capacity base supports scalable warehousing; the suitable zone and available project capacity are confirmed separately.
Stock quantity alone is insufficient for medicine distribution. Batch, expiry date, release status, quarantine, minimum shelf life and stock movements need consistent definitions across warehouse operations and client systems. Reports are agreed so that clients can understand available inventory, blocked stock and open orders.
Order picking, shipment preparation and other additional handling can be included after a product and process review. Repacking, relabelling, assembly or sample dispatch are only confirmed where the site, process and authorisations support the activity. A general value-added-services offer does not establish a manufacturing authorisation.
Define order cycles, cut-off times, fulfilment accuracy, reporting frequency and escalation contacts before launch. Interface specifications cover master data, orders, stock updates and error handling. Normal operation, rejected messages and fallback procedures need acceptance criteria and practical testing.
Physical fulfilment does not automatically include invoicing, payment reconciliation or accounts receivable. The contract identifies whether only warehouse and order data are handled or additional commercial processes are required. Responsibilities and interfaces are agreed explicitly.
