Healthcare
CEVA Logistics Benelux is the Healthcare knowledge center for CEVA worldwide. Pharmaceutical, healthcare and life science companies operate within a highly dynamic industry. Logistics is increasingly becoming a significant factor that can contribute to the realisation of a successful organisational strategy. Many global and regional trends and products have a considerable impact on companies' business, while technical developments offer new possibilities. At the same time, emerging marketplaces, diverse customer requirements, the shifting roles of partners, changing regulations and individual legislation in various countries, each have their own - and sometimes conflicting - effects on firms' current supply chains.
Companies working in different areas within the healthcare industry are often faced with supply chain issues that are typical for that specific area. CEVA Logistics Benelux often has experience of the particular issues involved, as it provides services to companies across this whole sector. We have therefore developed innovative dedicated logistics solutions for healthcare, pharmaceutical and life science companies to support them in achieving supply chain excellence. One perfect example is the Hospital Waste Logistics service, that started end of 2006 in the southern and northern part of The Netherlands. By combining a new, regulation-compliant packaging with easy-to-handle roll container distribution, efficiency and cost savings of 10-15% are feasible. For more information on this concept, please visit the hw-logistics website.
Another example is the Nationale-Apotheek.nl concept, that was developed in partnership with TNT Post and Sierra Nova. This website was launched early 2007 to offer customers in The Netherlands an additional, convenient and advantageous channel to order their medication. 24/7 ‘opening hours and countrywide home delivery in a safe and specialized packaging are some of the obvious customer-friendly key services included. This concept was awarded the LogiMatch Award 2008 for most promising logistics partnership.
