Should any business organization intend to enter local or regional markets – or remain competitive once its presence is already established – it is of paramount importance to find a reliable logistics service provider whose facilities as well as personnel are well suited for pharmaceutical wholesaling activities. Larger – typically multinational companies – tend to establish their own logistics facilities locally while others outsource such services and use specialized operators in the field. The latter might prove to be a quicker and more cost-efficient solution as the advantages of contracting with a local professional logistics operator include specialized facilities and staff with specific expertise and also offers a network of well-established relationships with all relevant market participants including regulatory authorities, other wholesalers, pharmacies or healthcare institutions.
