Medicines, active ingredients and diagnostics tolerate no gap in the cold chain – and no gap in the documentation. Speed Logistics moves pharma and medical transports GDP-compliant as a direct transport without transloading: actively temperature-controlled at 2–8 °C or 15–25 °C, with IoT temperature monitoring and real-time alerts from loading to handover.
Quality managers and buyers get both from us: the speed of an express freight forwarder with a fixed-price quote within a few hours, and the process discipline that GxP environments demand. Our personal dispatch team is reachable 24/7 – even when a batch has to go out at short notice during the night.
GDP-compliant cold chain: 2–8 °C and 15–25 °C
For temperature-controlled shipments we use active climate technology that holds the required range independently of the outside temperature and season – either 2–8 °C for refrigerated goods or 15–25 °C for ambient-storage preparations. Sensors record the temperature continuously; in the event of deviations, the IoT monitoring alerts the dispatch team in real time so that corrective action is taken before an excursion occurs. On arrival you receive the complete temperature log for your quality file.
Security for high-value pharma freight
High-priced active ingredients and medical technology travel with us at an elevated security standard aligned with TAPA FSR: sealed vehicles (sealed trailer), immobiliser, trained drivers with code procedures and live GPS tracking over the entire route. The direct transport without transloading reduces access points and handling risks; CMR insurance is included, and we itemise extended value coverage separately on request.
Documentation to GxP – through to SFDA-compliant export
Pharma logistics is documentation logistics. We work to the requirements of Good Distribution Practice and the relevant quality standards (including DIN EN 15224, GxP): defined handover points, temperature logs, traceable responsibilities. For exports to non-EU countries we prepare the shipment documentation in line with the destination country – SFDA-compliant for Saudi Arabia, for example – and handle the complete customs clearance from EXW to DDP, including the T1 transit procedure.
Vehicles and typical shipments
Medical transports are rarely standard pallets. Among other things, we move medicine batches from the manufacturer to the pharmaceutical wholesaler, active ingredients and samples between production, laboratory and contract manufacturer, diagnostics and reagents to clinics, and medical technology for installation. The vehicle choice follows the shipment: a climate-controlled sprinter van for single pallets and urgent samples, box vehicles with active temperature control for part loads, an articulated truck for complete batches. Because every shipment runs as a direct transport, transloading via hubs is eliminated – the most common point at which cold chains break and packages are damaged. For regular lanes, such as weekly wholesaler deliveries, we set up fixed departures with consistent drivers and documented processes – this reduces the qualification effort on your side and makes transit times predictable.
Process: from quote to temperature log
You tell us the goods, temperature range, pick-up and delivery point and the time window. Within a few hours you receive a fixed-price quote including temperature-controlled loading, insurance and monitoring. From a climate-controlled sprinter van for single pallets to an articulated truck for complete batches, we select the vehicle to match the shipment. After delivery we provide the proof of delivery and temperature curve – audit-proof for the audit and batch release. For queries about the shipment, you can reach your contact in the dispatch team directly at any time – no call centre and no ticket queue.
