Real-time location monitoring

Monitorización de ubicación en tiempo real

Our real-time location monitoring (RTLM) solution revolutionizes pharmaceutical logistics by providing unparalleled visibility and proactive management of critical shipments. With real-time tracking capabilities across a global network, we ensure the timely and secure delivery of vital medications, minimizing risks associated with misplacement or improper storage. Our innovative technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly reduces environmental impact using multi-use tracking devices.

What does real-time location monitoring mean?

Real-time

Our systems receive real-time data about shipments, meaning we have full visibility over everything in transit, at all times.

Location

Exact co-ordinates are pinged to our servers in real-time, meaning we can fix problems as they arise.

Monitoring

Our operational teams are alerted with the real-time data they need to ensure shipment integrity and maintain our high-quality standards.

RTLM has been rolled out across World Courier's global network, spanning more than 50 countries. At any one time we have thousands of shipments in transit, and tens of thousands of tracking devices ready to be deployed.

How does it work?

GPS tracking

Each of our multi-use shipments are equipped with a GPS device that continuously transmits its location data to our central monitoring system.

Data transmission

En route to its destination the device sends real-time updates via cellular networks or satellite communication, ensuring constant connectivity even in remote areas.

Centralized monitoring

The transmitted data is received and processed by our centralized monitoring platform, which displays the precise location and status of each shipment.

Alerts and notifications

If any irregularities or deviations from the planned route occur, automated alerts are generated to notify our logistics team immediately.

Proactive management

With real-time insights, our team can quickly intervene to resolve potential issues, such as rerouting shipments.

The benefits of real-time location monitoring

Reliability for customers

Enhanced visibility

Customers can track their shipments in real time, which provides peace of mind and transparency.

Quick intervention

If there are any issues during transit, such as delays or incorrect storage conditions, we can quickly address them to ensure timely and safe delivery.

Improved reliability

Significant reduction in the risk of lost or misplaced shipments, ensuring that critical medicines reach patients without unnecessary delays.

Crucial for patients

Improved safety

The risk of losing or damaging crucial medicines during transit is minimized, ensuring patients receive their medications in optimal condition.

Timely access

Patients are more likely to receive their treatments on time as delays are minimized. Drugs can be administered immediately upon arrival, unlike with traditional monitors where manual data downloads can cause days-long delays.

Enhanced confidence

Patient peace of mind and trust in the reliability of their treatment supply chain.

Reducing reliance on single-use monitors

RTLM technology presents a distinct advantage by reducing dependency on legacy monitors. Historically, tracking devices are often single use, generating considerable waste. Our shift towards multi-use, recoverable RTLM devices continues to considerably mitigate this issue.

The improved visibility and proactive risk management facilitated by RTLM also decreases the chance of product wastage through shipments being lost and needing to be replaced.
